Re: How to use DNSmasq as Ipv6 DNS and DHCP server ?
Dear Le Mercredi:
I have put Ipv6 address in /etc/hosts file for DNS
resolution. It worked for DNS resolution with DNSmasq.
I got reply on ping6 but it will only reply the host
name not the IPv6 address. ( may be some config is
missing which no one know)
Besides, the radvd will allocate the Global address to
all hosts automatically.
But radvd is a advertise router which are not doing
DHCP server jobs (i.e. assign other network
information to the hosts : DNS server , Default
Gateway, dynamic update Ip address on DNS ...etc).
DNSmasq is doing a good job on Ipv4 as light weight
DNS and DHCP server for small network.
If it supports Ipv6 , it should be able to do the same
things as Ipv4 ( I think which may not true) . But
there are no document regarding to configure DNSmasq
for IPv6 even on the DNSmasq website and mailing list
archive.
May be I am the first guy to use it for Ipv6 testing
network.
It is interesting to me because I do not want to
config Bind9 and DHCP6 server which are not a simple
task for a small Ipv6 testing network.
Other reason is that I do not see any ipv6 DHCP
server in Debian Sarge package list (i.e. DHCP6).
DNSmasq may be another alternative.
comments please ;
