Is there any kind of linux-host-side implementation going for this? Google suggested only one patch, and the site appears to have gone away sometime since January 2006. [1] (Site authors CC'd) It [2] appears to be providing the RDNSS results via /proc/sys/net/ipv6/nd_rdnss which would then require a daemon [3] to feed them to resolv-conf... The patch authors mentioned planning to move most of the mechanisms to userspace and provide the data via a char device... I'd have thought a netlink socket of some kind providing _all_ ND data would be more sensible myself, and more in keeping with what upstream Linux net-development seems to like. This also makes it easily extensible should other user-space-useful ND options be added in future (the RDNSS draft author mentions NFS, which is halfway to doing IPv6 rootless booting with only RAs. ^_^) And now my mind is diverging to having IPv6 autoconf being done in userspace instead of the kernel... Wow, more googling for me to do. Anyway, has any work on the RDNSS host-side progressed since January?
