IPv6 DNS Advertisements
DNS client configuration can be handled by the standard Router Advertisement Daemon (radvd)
– apt-get install radvd
Edit /etc/radvd.conf
on your Linux Router and insert the following at the end of the file to use Google’s DNS Caching server:
RDNS 2001:4860:4860::8888
{
};
On your Linux clients install rdnssd. To automatically insert the advertised IPv6 DNS servers into your /etc/resolv.conf
The /etc/resolv.conf now contains both IPv4 and IPv6 entries. Typically a DHCP client is adding the IPv4 DNS server entries, this can be prevented by removing ‘domain-name-servers’ from the ‘request’ line in dhclient.conf
