So with out dhcpv6 client you can use "IPv6 Router Advertisement Options for DNS Configuration" (RFC 5006^W6106^W8106) To use this on Linux you need to install the rdnssd client. radvd also supports this option if you are using Linux as router. Note: This is not supported on several older model routers so you can either change the router, use dual-stack or DHCPv6 (which wont work for Android devices).
