Asking this here, in case anyone's into advanced IPV6.
IPV6 does not need DHCP, instead using inherent IP allocation via ICMP6,
assigned by a RAdvD daemon on the gateway.
My ideal situation is where a machine calls out for an IP, stating its name in
the domain (turnip.garden.com), and gets an IPV6 IP from the server. Because
the name was provided, the RAdvD server will then be able to record and know
which name in the domain is assigned to which interface/machine, for
resolvconf and dnsmasq to reference (like with IPV4 DHCP). So while using
dynamic assignment of random IP's, I could still ping6 a node -name- without
having to know its IP all the time.
However I can't see that RAdvD is capable of this. Is this possible? If not,
is there another IPV6 advertising daemon that can do it? I'm probably beyond
the technology again.
