General Discussion / DHCPv6 - DNS server alias
« on: April 27, 2023, 03:54:08 pm »
I am trying to make a bullet proof IPv6 config. By bullet proof I mean when I lose power for an extended period of time I will receive a new v6 prefix delegation.
In the past I haven't used the alias with ::<v6 address> but now that I use that I can reliably automatically re-address the network including the v6 address range and the static hosts. I have standalone pi-holes for DNS. Those are my static v6 addresses. What I haven't been able to do is use an alias for the prefix delegation and combine it with the static addresses in the DHCPv6 config.
If I could do that then v6 would appear as stable as v4 after an extended power outage.
Am I missing something that would allow me to do that?
