If I moved wholly to IPV6 how could I provide the same sort of 'access by name' for the LAN? The Asus router provides standard IPV6 services already by giving all my systems with IPV6 addresses from the block provided by my ISP, but I don't see how to get systems to have a name.
Like with IPv4 you could define a static private IPv6 address (e.g. fc01::1/64) for the internal interface of the router and let Dnsmasq use that interface as a constructor for the internal DHCP addresses. Private DNS follows automatically like on IPv4.
# /etc/dnsmasq.d/dnsmasq.local #IPv6 enable-ra dhcp-range=::64,::c8,constructor:<internal_router_interface_name_here>,slaac,ra-names
