Re: draft note to IPv6 WG on DNS discovery

Thomas,

This seems to me to be more of a protocol development issue, not 
operations?  My reading of the DNSOP charter has it focusing on the DNS 
server operations, not how a host learns the addresses of resolvers, 
default domains, etc.  I also note that the DHCPv6 DNS option was developed 
in the DHC working group, not DNSOP.
