Setting this attribute to true is not recommended as creating
DHCPv6 clients requires this attribute be false (the default).
If true, when creating a new client the name must be one of
the following:
  - A mac address (,,), typically
    1,6,xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
  - A blob formatted value, such as xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx which
    which will be converted to the mac address format
  - The string 'default'  
Any other name will return an error.
Note that this blob format conversion only applies when creating
a client and does not occur on client lookups.
If false, any name is allowed and is used exactly as specified.
The client name must match the lookup keys generated from the
client-lookup-id (or v6-client-lookup-id) expression.
 
vpn-communication 
 default = true
 
Controls the ability of the DHCP server to communicate with
clients that are on a different VPN from the server. Default
is true (enable).
If true, the server communicates with DHCP clients residing on
a different VPN by using an enhanced DHCP Relay Agent capability.
This enhanced DHCP Relay Agent capability is indicated by the
appearance of the server-id-override sub-option in
the relay agent information option (Option 82).

  Description
 
    The dhcp-address-block command creates and sets attributes
    for Network Registrar DHCP address blocks. The command applies
    only to address block objects that are designated in the 
    DHCP server for subnet allocation to clients. When a DHCP server
    receives a request to allocate a subnet to a client, it does so 
    by subdividing its available address-blocks. In this context, 
    a DHCP address block is a contiguous range of IP address space
    that is delegated to the DHCP server for assignment. The DHCP 
    server expects to subdivide these DHCP address blocks for 
    delegation to some other server or device, or for its own use in
    interaction with DHCP clients.
    DHCP address blocks can parent one or more subnets. Subnets are also
    contiguous ranges of IP address space that are bound to a specific 
    client, usually a router or another DHCP server. DHCP address blocks
    and subnets are similar to scopes in that they contain address ranges
    and other attributes necessary to configure the DHCP client-server 
    interaction. Unlike scopes, DHCP address blocks and subnets do not 
    have address ranges available for assignment to DHCP clients and do 
    not contain reserved addresses.
    In a virtual private network (VPN) deployment where multiple VPNs use 
    the same private address space, you can use logically identical DHCP 
    address blocks simultaneously on multiple VPNs.
