We are planning a wireless cloud (fully IPV6), which will have a domain name. The ideal system would accept association from members, and name their node with a predetermined virtual name in the domain, so they can easily be identified and nefarious activities easily traced. (we are a WISP)
Apparently RAdvD can't name nodes in a domain (stateless) and I'd like to avoid DHCP6, as these are embedded system nodes, and resources are limited. So how to name the nodes? Is dnsmasq up to a cloud of say, 500 nodes, and has anyone used it to name nodes? Another aspect is that I am trying to demote the role of the cloud gateway to be just essentially a bridge. This means for each node, a global IP + firewall, name cache, web object cache, apache, etc. So where would something like RAdvD or dnsmasq properly go, in a no-NAT IPV6 topology? Is there an IPV6 'best practice' to centrally administer a decentralized topology, including authentication, updating image firmware, and node-naming? Carl Cook
