RE: IPv6 Host Configuration of Recursive DNS Server

["Christian Huitema" <huitema@windows.microsoft.com>]

Two points:

1) In the disadvantage of DHCPv6 section, you ought to mention that
there is a ensure that the DHCP server always returns an up-to-date
value for the address of the preferred recursive DNS server. In large
networks, this is not trivial: the notion of which server is closest
depends on routing configuration and on server status, all of which are
dynamic. In contrast, the anycast approach guarantees that the request
will reach the closest server.

2) In the unmanaged case, you wrongly assume that case C is "like case
A". In fact, it is more like case B: if a gateway provides IPv6
connectivity by managing tunnels, then it is also supposed to provide
access to a recursive DNS server.
