A multi-homed node can be connected to multiple networks that may
utilize different DNS namespaces.  The node commonly receives DNS
server configuration information from all connected networks.  Some
of the DNS servers may have information about namespaces other
servers do not have.  When the multi-homed node needs to utilize DNS,
it has to choose which of the servers to contact to.  This document
describes a policy based method for helping on selection of DNS
server, for both forward and reverse DNS lookup procedures, with help
of DNS suffix and IPv6 prefix information received via DHCPv6.
