Since we're choosing to not implement IPv6 DHCP server, how do clients machine pick up the DNS? Sure, they get the address prefix from RADVD, but what about anything else? In the first instance all my client will be dual-stack IPv4 & IPv6. They already have the IPv4 DNS known and active so we will let them continue to use that. Of course if IPv4 does one day disappear, and we run as single-stack IPv6, this would need to be addressed.
