>An IPv6 device can configure its addresses and locate neighboring
>routers through stateless address autoconfiguration (RFC2462) and
>router discovery (RFC2461).  However, there is no current way (other
>than through DHCPv6) to learn DNS configuration information, such as
>the address of DNS servers or what the domain search path should be.
>It has been asserted that DHCP is 'too complex' for providing DNS
>configuration in some (simple) environments, and an alternate
>mechanism is needed.
