In your previous mail you wrote: As far as I know Apple doesn't support DHCPv6 at all. => things are not so simple, i.e., I have a concern about the 'at all': - Apple doesn't provide DHCPv6 (client, server or relay) in its MacOS X distrib (this can change but on the MacOS X 10.6.4 I am writing this it is the case)
- MacOS X uses standard BSD networking code & tools so you can run a DHCPv6 client on it, get and set an IPv6 address, etc. To summary, ifconfig behaves as on any other BSD. - MacOS X even provides 'ndp' command so you should be able to run the DHCPv6 does everything stuff on it (even I'd like to understand how DHCPv6 would bootstrap from nothing without ND :-) - there is a known issue with DNS server discovery: to summary again to update /etc/resolv.conf is very far to do what you want... But this doesn't mean it is impossible: you have to use the System Configuration framework (via tools or with a piece of code) and patch its Dynamic Store but it is something I'd not like to recommend and definitively to support. So we can say this is not integrated (BTW I suggest another thread if we'd like to discuss this point).
