Hi, This is a very good question, more details can be found in this draft that is currently in RFC Ed. queue: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dnsop-ipv6-dns-configurat ion-06.txt Also see: RA-based mechanism (personal submission): http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-jeong-dnsop-ipv6-dns-discovery -05.txt Furthermore, many OS'es (e.g. Symbian, according to my understanding also Microsoft, ...) implement well-known site-local addresses (as a last resort mechanism) for IPv6 DNS discovery, see e.g.: http://www.tahi.org/conformance/ct-profile-host/dd/DDWellKnown.html fec0:000:0000:ffff::1 fec0:000:0000:ffff::2 fec0:000:0000:ffff::3
This is the expired draft: http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/03mar/I-D/draft-ietf-ipv6-dns-discovery- 07.txt BR, Juha Wiljakka ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ext Vincent Lubet Sent: 12 September, 2005 21:59 To: Tiago Duarte (Ext_PDM&FC LDA) Cc: ipv6@ietf.org Subject: Re: PPP ext for IPv6 dns address On Sep 12, 2005, at 11:37 AM, Tiago Duarte (Ext_PDM&FC LDA) wrote: I was looking into the RFCs for the PPP extension that allow the server to include IPv6 DNS addresses on the PPP response. I found out that there was a draft, draft-ietf-pppext-ipv6-dns-addr-01.txt, that proposes this option. But this draft was droped. Is there any solution to pass DNS addresses to the client without using DHCPv6? Is there any option for PPP that could be used? You should be able to use neighbor discovery on the PPP link although it's not as simple as using IPV6CP.
