Hi dnsmasq, So I searched around and found some very old discussions about supporting DNS Update in dnsmasq. It seems like the feeling was that since dnsmasq already gathered it's own information base from DHCP, it wasn't necessary to add DNS Update support for clients because we already know their local address.
Today I am interested in DNS Update support for the benefit of IPv6 home lans, especially IPv6 only lans, where we cannot derive the host address from DHCP leases. With --enable-ra, in some cases we can guess the client address if it chooses EUI-64 addresses, but RFC 7217 "stable privacy" addresses are increasingly common, and once again it seems there is just no way to resolve AAAA records accurately on the lan. I think DNS Update could resolve this problem. Any thoughts on reconsidering support for this protocol in dnsmasq? Or other solutions?
