DHCP6: no leases are created unless specifying a "interface" on the zone
Needs testing, LowPublic

Description

Doring migration from my trusted old 1.4 snapshot to the newest 1.5-daily, dhcpv6 stopped working
After a hint from simon on slack this was fixed by adding the ìnterface directive inside the shared-network-name.
configuration not working on newest 1.5 rolling:

shared-network-name Inside {
    subnet xxxx:02c8:ab00:0::/64 {
        range 1 {
            start xxxx:aac8:ab00:0::1000
            stop xxxx:aac8:ab00:0::1999
        }
        subnet-id 1
    }
}

working configuration:

shared-network-name Inside {
    interface eth0
    subnet xxxx:aac8:ab00:0::/64 {
        range 1 {
            start xxxx:aac8:ab00:0::1000
            stop xx:aac8:ab00:0::1999
        }
        subnet-id 1
    }
}

if this is reproduce able , this is a change of operation since 1.4.
So question is if this is intended or not?
if its intended it is not migrated into, there are also no warnings on change of configuration needed.
so, hopefully this is a bug :)

(dhcpv4 did not need this interface statement)

sarthurdev claimed this task.

This does seem to be new behaviour introduced with Kea. ISC dhcpd did previously assume local distribution of a subnet based on the interface having an address within the subnet, Kea has changed to require this being explicitly defined.
