New draft: IPv6 Host Configuration of Recursive DNS Server

[<juha.wiljakka@nokia.com>]

Hi all,

(Firstly, my apologies for cross-posting)

Forwarding Paul's e-mail also on IPv6, v6ops and dhc lists. Your comments on the draft are appreciated on the dnsop mailing list  dnsop@lists.uoregon.edu  (no cross-posting, please).

BR,

Subject: IPv6 Host Configuration of Recursive DNS Server

Hello DNSOP members,

As you know, a new draft has been published for IPv6 Host Configuration of DNS Server Information Approaches:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dnsop-ipv6-dns-configuration-00.txt

For a long time, DNS Discovery has been discussed at both IPv6 and DNSOP working groups.
The long discussion seems to be resolved through this draft.

In this draft, three approaches are suggested: (a) RA option, (b) DHCPv6 option, and
(c) Well-known anycast addresses for Recursive DNS Servers.
We, authors, used "DNS Configuration" instead of "DNS Discovery" because recursive DNS server address is 
only configured in IPv6 host, not generating DNS server address like in IPv6 address autoconfiguration.

This draft focuses on describing the attributes of three approaches and suggesting four applicable scenarios:
(a) ISP network, (b) Enterprise network, (c) 3GPP network, (d) Unmanaged network.

Through your review and comments, this will be published as Informational RFC according to our milestones.
IMHO, if necessary, the drafts of two other approaches except DHCPv6 option will be developed into separate RFCs.

Thanks.

Paul, 
IPv6 DNS Configuration Design Team.
