I symphatize with this -- there are some uses to have DHCPv6 return IPv4 addresses too -- but the result would just make the dnsconfig option more complex for little benefit. Let's face it: if you deploy DHCPv6, you really should have long since deployed IPv6-enabled nameservers too. So, I think clarifying the scope to do only IPv6 seems like the best option by far. > Now, let's say that this is the case for DHCP, what should a node that > act both as a DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 client do when it will be returned two > lists of recursive DNS serves, one IPv4 via DHCPv4 and one IPv6 via > DHCPv6. Which one should take priority? Implementation decision, but I guess typically the results of the latest query take precedence. I don't see a problem here, myself. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds." Systems. Networks. Security. -- George R.R.
