DHCP is IMHO not the right way to implement access control. What is your 
security credential in this solution?
I understand what you mean, but i think this is not a primary requirement 
for dhcp. In my view the use of dhcp for access control in your example is 
only a workaround and can`t be the solution for security.

Please understand me right, i think we must have a look from the 
requirements side. IMHO we must consider the IPv4 solutions for IPv6 and 
perhaps can`t use it 1to1 in the IPv6-world.
