      Scenario:
      -Have a BIND server set up for dynamic updates using a key
      -Said BIND server has the necessary forward and reverse zones set up, and has the ACLs set to allow update using the key
      -Configure an interface in pfSense to use DHCPv6 and configure it to do a Dynamic Update toward the BIND server using the key as authentication

      If the interface is configured using a static IPv6 range, this configuration is successful.

      If the interface is getting it's IPv6 range through IPv6 Prefix Delegation, the DHCPv6 server crashes with the following error:

      /etc/dhcpdv6.conf line 70: unknown key ddns-key
      key "ddns-key"
      ^
      Configuration file errors encountered -- exiting
      If you think you have received this message due to a bug rather
      than a configuration issue please read the section on submitting
      bugs on either our web page at www.isc.org or in the README file
      before submitting a bug. These pages explain the proper
      process and the information we find helpful for debugging.
      exiting. 
      

      tested on pfSense Plus 21.09-RC

      the same DDNS configuration works perfectly on any IPv4 interface as well, but of course IPv4 interfaces are always statically defined just like in the working IPv6 scenario here.
