Abstract

   This document describes Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6
   (DHCPv6) options for passing a list of available DNS recursive name
   servers and a domain search list to a client.

1.  Introduction

   This document describes two options for passing configuration
   information related to Domain Name Service (DNS) (RFC 1034 [6] and
   RFC 1035 [1]) in DHCPv6 (RFC 3315 [2]).

2.  Terminology

   The key words MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHALL, SHALL NOT, SHOULD,
   SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, MAY, and OPTIONAL in this document are to be
   interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119 [3].

   Throughout this document, unless otherwise specified, the acronym
   DHCP refers to DHCP for IPv6 (DHCPv6) as specified in RFC 3315.

   This document uses terminology specific to IPv6 and DHCP as defined
   in section "Terminology" of RFC 3315.
