Estimados,

FYI: <https://goo.gl/fJTukL>. El thread empieza aca: <https://goo.gl/LUi6Km>

Otra "perlita": una cantidad de gente (incluyendo el ya "abonado"
Lorenzo Colitti de Google), argumentando en el v6ops wg de IETF que la
solución para solucionar problemas de configuración de DNS uno debe...
usar IPv4.


El desarrollo de estandares de IPv6 creo que ha llegado a uno de sus
puntos mas cannnabicos. :-)


Sería interesante que quienes tengan mas o menos idea del tema, se sumen
a la discusión.

P.S.: Si... entiendo el dilema para quien se encuentra desplegando o
intentando desplegar IPv6: Llorar vs tomar whisky vs dejar todo y
dedicarse a otra cosa.

P.S.: Para quienes nos gustan los protocolos, pensar que IPv6 es el
protocolo de Internet cuyo desarrollo ha tmado mas de 20 años para
llegar a este estado nos da... cierta verguenza ajena.

    Problem being that not all host implementations support RDNSS.


Actually, no problem. All implementations support DHCPv4, so for as long
as you run DHCPv4 with RDNSS things work. Then, when you replace DHCPv4
with DHCPv6, all implementations support either DHCPv6 or RDNSS and
things still work.

    Are you suggesting that we provide guidance on this topic? -- If so,
    that'd be fine to me. -- So far, the current version of the doc just
    aims at having  both options on the table. But I'd be fine with
    providing guidance.


Personally I'm fine with providing guidance that all implementations
should support RDNSS, but a) I doubt we'll reach consensus, and b) I
don't think it will matter even if we do.

    > I don't see why we should require hosts to implement stateless DHCPv6.

    1) so that for networks in which they want to convey DNS info in DHCPv6,
    they can.


"Hosts should do something so that networks can do what they want"? Is
that going to be sufficient motivation? The incentives don't seem to
align very well.
