Thanks for the replies! I hesitantly updated to dnsmasq-2.68 since I
first wanted to stick to the version provided with Debian wheezy. The
quiet-options really reduce the amount of syslog messages except for:
"dnsmasq-dhcp[23663]: no address range available for DHCPv6 request via
eth5"
Concerning the link-local addresses it actually looks like this is the
default when advertising gateways in local networks. Unfortunately other
software to proxy/relay dhcpv6 and ra can not handle it properly. It is
basically possible to also advertise the routers global address (see
here: http://www.macfreek.nl/memory/Non-Local_IPv6_Router_Advertisement
and the RFC here: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6275#section-7.2 ). Is
this option also available in dnsmasq? In radvd it is called
"AdvRouterAddr on;".
There are two different thinks here: the router address and the DNS
server address.
I think that the router address is always taken as the source address of
the RA packets, and therefore has to be link-local.
The DNS server address is advertised as the global address in DHCPv6 and
the link-local address in RA, by default.
You can force a particular address in RA and DHCpv6 by using
dhcp-option, indeed you can specify the option is all zeros to specify
the global address. This applies to both DHCPv6 and RA so
dhcp-option=option6:dns-server,[::]
will force the dhcpv6 DNS address to be the global address (no change)
and the RA DNS address to be the same, which is what you want, I think.
The next release adds the ability to specify link-local, ULA or global
addresses.
Cheers,
Simon.
Many regards,
Martin

Hello,
We are using this great piece of software so far as DNS cacher but
want to implement it also as IPv6 server by now. DHCPv4 is handled by
another software at the moment (isc-dhcp-server) but we think the
dnsmasq 2.62-3 is quite suitable for our need of an DHCPv6- and
RA-server.
I activated the features in dnsmasq.conf which I think should set-up
a working DHCPv6/RA-Server (see compressed config file below). From
then on the server distributed ipv6-addresses from the correct range.
Unfortunately some error occured: As wanted it also distributed
Gateway and DNS-server but it used the LINK-LOCAL v6 address of the
corresponding interface instead of the Global configured address
(2010:7d0:904:1202::1). Is this a bug or misconfiguration?
Another independent question: With this configuration dnsmasq starts
to be pretty noisy in the syslog. Is there any option to reduce the
verbosity once the system works?
v2.68 includes 'quiet-dhcp, quiet-dhcp6 & quiet-ra' options which
significantly help the syslog noise.
I think it's correct behaviour to advertise the link-local address.
Hope that helps.
Kevin
