That is another indirection and quite inconvenient in the diskless
client case. I want the information as close to the root path/next
server option configuration as possible.

For IPv6 things are a bit easier as auto configuration just works and
is static (as long as you don't use RFC 4941, or maybe even if you do
[I actually don't know - is it?]) and the only option I would like to
have is to disallow IPv6 for certain clients completely (for dissallow =
do not give them public prefixes, do not give them RAs, I haven't seen
a use case where local-only IPv6 needed to be disabled).
