(How baroque do we have to get?)  enable_dhcp, for backward compatibility reasons, should probably disable *both* RA and DHCPv6, despite the name, so we can't use that to disable the DHCP server.  We could add a *third* attribute, which I hate as an idea but does resolve the problem - one flag for each of the servers, one for the mode the servers are operating in, and enable_dhcp which needs to DIAF but will persist till the API is revved.
