When you can plug your computer in, and automatically (with no
clicking) get an IPv6 address,
Router Advertisements let you automatically configure as many IPv6
addresses as you feel like.
> have something tell you where your DNS assist servers,
Microsoft had an old expired draft with some default anycast IPv6
nameserver addresses:
fec0:0:0:ffff::1
fec0:0:0:ffff::2
fec0:0:0:ffff::3
-- http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-ipv6-dns-discovery-04.txt
While this was never accepted by the IETF, I believe windows machines
still use these by default if they have no other name servers but do
have IPv6 connectivity.
This could be a fairly simple defacto standard if network operators
start using it. This is an obvious weak link in the chain at this point
tho.
> configure web proxies,
once you have DNS you can use the WPAD proxy auto discovery thingamabob.
and solve your dynamic dns problems (as IPv4 set top boxes do today),
Updating your forward/reverse dns via DNS Update messages isn't that
uncommon today.
See:
http://www.caida.org/publications/presentations/ietf0112/dns.damage.html
where hosts are trying to update the root zone with their new names.
So you can get from A to D without requiring DHCPv6.
