Hello, J.R.. You wrote 21 =E0=EF=F0=E5=EB=FF 2011 =E3., 18:53:56: >> I need only distribute IPv6 DNS server addresses to clients, but not >> prefixes or address information. > DHCP is stateful. If you want stateless, you need IPv6 RDNSS router > advertisements. Information-Request message doesn't need state on server side. And IPv6 RDNSS is good thing, but doesn't supported by Windows (yet?)... :( > Since you just want to send DNS info and not prefixes, you can use these > patches in rtadvd and just configure rdnss info and no prefix info. I want to advertise Prefixes and routes via pure IPv6 mechanisms (rtadv), as it supported by all known IPv6-enabled systems. And DNS needs DHCPv6 for Windows clients :( > I've since filed a PR > (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D156259) > to have this reviewed and committed. Great! I looks like very valuable addition to FreeBSD, but, unfortunately, it doesn't help client Windows machines in any way :( --=20 // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev@FreeBSD.org>
