If you have an IPv6 Linux network at home, you probably have a Linux host on the perimeter that’s running radvd – this is the server that responds to IPv6 neighbour discovery (ND) requests, distributes the default route to all your hosts, and tells your hosts how to auto configure themselves.

All these tasks were handled by the DHCP server, albeit a lot differently, in the good old days. The one other thing that dhcpd did for us was to tell all the hosts where the DNS servers were.

So, do I need to run the IPv6 version of dhcpd AND radvd?

Apparently there is a huge shortage of Canadian registrars that can provide full ipv6 support. The only one I was able to find is BareMeta.com, which despite it’s TLD operates out of Victoria, BC. I haven’t switched yet, because while they support ipv6 glue records for .ca, they don’t for .net yet.

Here is the discussion on dslreports.com where it was mentioned.
