I have entered local IPv6 DNS servers in my Airport Extreme (these are server running in my local network).
However, hosts on my network are getting the Airport Extreme's address which ultimately ends up failing to resolve anything.
Thoughts?
If you delete the auto DNS setup in the computer and manually set the IPv6 dns.. does it work??
Is the AE working as main router??
Is there double NAT.. as that will surely mess things up??
Yes. Manually specifying the correct DNS servers works fine.
The AE is the only router.
No double NAT.
I also have this problem. I've tried a handful of different ipv6 dns servers to test. Manually specifying the ipv6 address does indeed work fine.
According to this tcpdump, it appears that the AE isn't adding ipv6 addresses to dhcp option 6:
$sudo tcpdump -vvv -s 0 port bootps
(192.168.1.1 is the AE, 192.168.1.2 is a DNS server that I specified, 192.168.1.16 is my MBP)
