I'm sorry for the late response. I had over 500 unread messages in this
mailing list.
It's true that radvd supports the RDNSS option (RFC 5006). Just add
something like this to your radvd.conf:
interface whatever
{
# *snipp*
RDNSS 2001:16d8:ffff:1::1
{
};
};
I have written a client side implementation of RDNSS. It was developed
under FreeBSD, but seems to work under Linux as well. Some early testing
has been done under MacOS X as well.
You can find it here:
http://hack.org/mc/hacks/radns/
It doesn't support aging of the RDNSS data yet and you need some way to
make it play well with a DHCP client if you're running dual stack,
otherwise they will compete for /etc/resolv.conf.
I'm hoping to be able to find the time to clean up radns, add aging and
a script to work with dhclient. Shouldn't be too hard.
I'm willing to patch FreeBSD's rtadvd to support RFC 5006 as well, if I
can find the time.
Cheers,
MC.
