I didn't see a mailing list FAQ so I hope its ok to ask a simple question like<br>
How do I search the mailing list to find say DDNS<br>
would I run a google query for "site:<a href="http://lists.litech.org" target="_blank">lists.litech.org</a> DDNS"<br>
this didn't find anything and I'd bet someone has asked how to do that before.<br>
<br>
If not that is my question can radvd do ddns(Dynamic DNS)<br>
I'd like that when a host gets a ipv6 address from my radvd pool to<br>
update my bind entries for that computer.<br>

</font></blockquote></div><br><br>AFAIK, there's nothing like that in radvd. However, this sound like a problem solved by mDNS (multicast DNS, also called Bonjour by Apple). On Linux, avahi-daemon does this. After installing you'll need to update your /etc/nsswitch.conf with this line...<br>
<br>hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4<br><br>...to make use of it. ...but you'll need to do this on all the Linux hosts on your network. I think it's running by default on OSX and you can install Bonjour on your windows hosts.<br>
<br>Then when a host wants to know the IP of another host running Bonjour, you can use the .local suffix like so...<br><br>$ ping somehost.local<br><br>...or...<br><br>$ ping6 somehost.local<br><br>Thanks,<br>Reuben<br>
