Can someone pity me enough to explain how to do DNS on ipv6 while using slaac?
All I want to do is give every machine on my network a friendly hostname like storage.lan, timsPhone.lan, etc without having to run BIND (if possible), or dhcpd.
I have heard of zeroconf for ipv4, but the catch is I want this to work across several different platforms like Windows , freebsd, Linux, etc. I also don't want to use static addresses, but I feel like that's asking too much.
- WorldMaker 7mo agoYou are looking for mDNS which is the modern name for zeroconf/Bonjour/etc. The URL suffix is .local (storage.local, myphone.local, myprinter.local). Most modern OSes support it out of the box, but also don't advertise their names on mDNS until you ask them nicely (travel through a maze of Settings and Firewall options). mDNS supports IPv6 just fine/works on IPv6 only LANs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_DNS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_DNS
- gosub100 7mo agoThank you. I may have tried this previously, but I think my router was blocking traffic between WiFi and wired. I will try this again. Appreciate it
