Handing out DNS server from Cisco local pool

[Frank Bulk]

Ole:

Yes, that 65 was a typo. =)

I'm using local pools for testing some DSL modems that also have an Ethernet
port for their WAN interface.  I already use dhcpv6 relay for the IA_PD, but
IA_NA is obtained from the local pool.  If you think that with 12.2(33)SRE2
IA_NA should be obtainable via DHCPv6 relay, I'll rip out the local pool
stuff and test again.

Or can I use "ipv6 dhcp server <foo>" for IA_NA and dhcpv6 relay for IA_PD?

I'm not keen on RADIUS for dynamic address allocations.  Another
configuration element that needs to be configured and managed by our tools
and helpdesk.

s/65/64?
btw: I'm not that keen on the local pools. if you can use RADIUS and give
out a static prefix on each PPP link instead.

define an ipv6 dhcp pool, e.g.
ipv6 dhcp pool <foo>
 dns-server <bar>

and add "ipv6 dhcp server <foo>" under the virtual-template interface.

cheers,
