+ <para>Allows the default "preferred lifetime" of the address to be overridden.
+ Only three settings are accepted: <literal>forever</literal> or <literal>infinity</literal>
+ which is the default and means that the address never expires, and <literal>0</literal> which means
+ that the address is considered immediately "expired" and will not be used,
+ unless explicitly requested. A setting of PreferredLifetime=0 is useful for
+ addresses which are added to be used only by a specific application,
+ which is then configured to use them explicitly.</para>
