I've got IPv6 set up and things work great if I also use IPv4. DNS
lookups go over IPv4 according to what I have in /etc/resolv.conf and
AAAA records are followed. However, if I decide to go with just IPv6 by
simplifying my /etc/hostname.if file and using "inet6 autoconf" by
itself, I cannot do any DNS lookups.
I'm thinking that somehow the rdns part of the router advertisement
isn't working. If it were working correctly, would the provided IPv6 DNS
server address show up in /etc/resolv.conf? I'm running -current but
it's from about a month ago. Before I update it to try and fix a problem
that I'm not sure is related to the snapshot I'm using, I figured I
would check with misc@ and see if anyone's got a working configuration.
If this is not supported yet, that'd be fine- I don't intend to forego
IPv4 right now across the board. Here's the output of "slaacctl show
interface":

My /etc/hostname.iwn0:
nwid "B.D. Wong" wpakey "greatpasswordhere"
dhcp
inet6 autoconf
My /etc/resolv.conf (although removing this altogether changes nothing):
# Generated by iwn0 dhclient
nameserver 192.168.10.1
I'm really just wondering if anyone on the list has had success with
these router advertisement rdns setups. Thanks!
