Re: IPv6 DNS resolvers issue (Re: Why have we gotten away from running code?)

People may also want to read RFC 3646 which defines DHCPv6 options to 
configure a DNS resolver.

We have considered _other_ ways to automatically configure a DNS 
resolver in IPv6, but we haven't managed to reach consensus on any of 
those proposals yet.
