Re: How IPv6 host gets DNS address

[masataka ohta]

Ralph;

We have other significant problems to solve to complete the IPv6
name-and-address management story - most importantly at this point, how do
we arrange for population of PTR records by roaming hosts using stateless
address autoconfiguration?  We should be spending our cycles on those
problems...
Wrong problem.

The problem to be solved (if not yet solved) is

        how do we arrange for population of PTR records by roaming
        hosts using address autoconfiguration
and DHCP, rather than DHCP-lite, is, it seems to me, the only
way to go.
I strongly believe, based on
implementation experience, that the implementation complexity of DHCPv6
for host configuration is *not* prohibitive.
Compared to the implementation complexity of ND, yes.

The easiest, simplest and fastest way to go is to remove ND,
a full set of useless features, entirely.
