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. -- M.C. Widerkrantz, http://hack.org/mc/ Plain text e-mail, please. OpenPGP welcome.
