Re: IP sent by DNSv6 Server

Thank you!
I think my problem is a bit different. I have a server that is going to perform router advertisements and dhcpv6 services to my lan hosts. So, my point here is if a lan host should receive the server's local or global ip.

Cumprimentos,

It should be a global address. Most programs don't really know how to
deal with a link-local address in resolv.conf, even if you do include
the interface part. Besides, you might not even be able to specify the
interface in the dibbler configuration; not sure the DHCPv6
specification allows for it either.
