How would you redirect all DNS traffic to a local DNS resolver with IPv6?

Using a port forward?

TCP/IP Version IPv6
Destination Port DNS
Redirect Target IP --> the IPv6 address of the local DNS resolver
Redirect Target Port DNS

Hi meschmesch

Does this work without NPTv6?

Yes sure. The only "challenge" is that you need to assign the local DNS resolver some static IPv6.
