Ok. I've set up the address 172.31.71.71 on my laptop to respond to  
DNS queries. So if you set up your interface with a suitably randomly  
chosen address in 172.31.0.0/16 with no default gateway and DNS server  
172.31.71.71 you can resolve names as long as I have my laptop open.  
For the next hour or so I'll be on the ietf-v6ONLY wlan, please test  
and let me know if it works.
