Dear Le Mercredi: I have put Ipv6 address in /etc/hosts file for DNS resolution. It worked for DNS resolution with DNSmasq.
I got reply on ping6 but it will only reply the host name not the IPv6 address. ( may be some config is missing which no one know) Besides, the radvd will allocate the Global address to all hosts automatically. But radvd is a advertise router which are not doing DHCP server jobs (i.e. assign other network information to the hosts : DNS server , Default Gateway, dynamic update Ip address on DNS ...etc). DNSmasq is doing a good job on Ipv4 as light weight DNS and DHCP server for small network. If it supports Ipv6 , it should be able to do the same things as Ipv4 ( I think which may not true) . But there are no document regarding to configure DNSmasq for IPv6 even on the DNSmasq website and mailing list archive. May be I am the first guy to use it for Ipv6 testing network. It is interesting to me because I do not want to config Bind9 and DHCP6 server which are not a simple task for a small Ipv6 testing network. Other reason is that I do not see any ipv6 DHCP server in Debian Sarge package list (i.e. DHCP6). DNSmasq may be another alternative. comments please ; K. M.
