I've been lurking for the most time, so.. double-checking: essentially, what you want is that you always keep DNS for nodes in the internal network, and those entries remain up-to-date e.g. in the presence of renumbering? (I guess dynamic updates by each client is not acceptable, so there should be some kind of "proxy" doing the job for the local net, right?) If I got your problem statement right, I'd argue that there are, essentially, two problems here: 1) Learning the IPv6 addresses in use 2) Updating the DNS accordingly "1" is already solved by <http://www.si6networks.com/tools/ipv6mon>. "2" could be an add-on to ipv6mon, that would do the DNS updates according to the address changes. If the above sounds sensible, I voulteer to: 1) Write the code that does what I've described above 2) Write an I-D that describes what I've done with the code. :-) Thoughts? Thanks!
