How does a router go about doing that with SLAAC? Running dhcp6 is something I would like to avoid. Maybe Bonjour/mDNS are just going to be far more prevalent in the ipv6 world.
For most devices, a constantly changing IP is well and good (eg ipv6 privacy extensions). However, for servers it is less than desirable.
- karlshea 11y agoThis is the missing part for me as well. I run DNS internally and it works just fine for IPv4, but everything is using SLAAC so I can't have AAAA records. The only solution I've heard so far is to have a client on each machine that would update the DNS server with the new address, which sounds terrible. I'm just about at the point that I'm just going to install DHCPv6, but last I heard not every OS supported it?
