Description Neil Wilson 2011-03-09 16:00:13 UTC 
Description of problem:

Libvirt currently issues an IPv6 address, but no IPv6 DNS address or domain search list in the autoconfigure details. 

Additionally if there is no IPv4 address specified then dnsmasq should still be brought up in 'DNS-only' mode listening to the IPv6 address.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.8.8

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add IPv6 address with a 'domain' attribute.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

No IPv6 DNS address in /etc/resolv.conf or domain search list


Expected results:

Libvirt should check RADVD version and add stanzas for RDNSS and DNS search list if the version is sufficiently high enough.

IMO NetworkManager doesn't support DNSSL (worth filing a RFE and linking here). And there are bugs that break networking with RDNSS, namely bug 753482 and bug 808203.
Comment 2 Pavel Šimerda (pavlix) 2012-05-22 19:00:47 UTC 
New information:

NetworkManager doesn't even recieve DNSSL from kernel: bug 824121
Comment 3 Cole Robinson 2016-03-23 11:56:12 UTC 
There's a few bits in here, some are fixed I believe. Duping to a more general bug for the unresolved issues
