[opensuse] RADVD, RRDNS and IPv6
I have IPv6 enabled on my network, using 6in4 tunneling to a tunnel broker. On my firewall (OpenSUSE 11.0) radvd is used to advertise the IPv6 info to computers on my network. However, it does not seem to be advertising the IPv6 DNS server provided by the tunnel broker. The file /etc/radvd.conf includes these lines, which are supposed to advertise the DNS: RDNSS 2001:5c0:1000:11::2 2001:5c0:1001::194 { AdvRDNSSPreference 8; AdvRDNSSOpen off; AdvRDNSSLifetime 30; }; In order to use an IPv6 DNS, I have to manually add it to resolv.conf, instead of getting it from radvd. Any idea why this is? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, I do not really know, but I think your linux clients will not use the advertised DNS servers without additional tools like rdnssd (that seems to be very old) or NetworkManager.
