I heard about rdnssd today at the NLUUG meeting I attended. I gave it a try on my laptop. As an ubuntu package it uses the resolvconf package. I had to change the /etc/resolvconf/interface-order file to use the rdnssd results before the dhcpv4 answers:# interface-order(5) lo.inet* lo.dnsmasq lo.pdnsd lo.!(pdns|pdns-recursor) lo 000.rdnssd tun* tap* hso* eth* ath* wlan* ppp* *And now I get the resulting /etc/resolv.conf I want:# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN nameserver 2001:980:14ca:42::694 nameserver 10.42.2.1 search idefix.net koos.koffie.dotAnd resolver traffic goes over IPv6. Update 2011-11-25: Trying the same on a workstation on the wired network doesn't give the right result:$ cat /etc/resolv.conf # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTENYes, empty. No data from rdnssd and no data from dhclient. Back to the working config...
