You don't need to know them - or rather, you already know them. They are
derivable from the MAc addresses of the machines.

Clients took quite a while to support DHCP, remember those days? DHCPv6
is ready to go on MAC OSX and Linux, trivially installable in most Unix

Windows. Windows 7 *may* have a client built in.
