[ntpwg] [dhcwg] Re: Network Time Protocol (NTP) Optionsfor DHCPv6

[TS Glassey]

Seems like there are two ways to deal with this, either define a set of 
pre-existing names and services ala RFC1918 type thingee or through some 
lookup process in DHCP. Either way it seems that this also plugs into the 
NEA functionality as well.
