Doesn't that dis-prove the claim that "A minimal DHCPv6-lite server
co-located with a recursive name server [c]ould just respond with its own
address"? (see <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and its
thread-context neighbors)

So going this way means additional DNS-specific maintenance would be
mandatory after all.
