        IPv6 Router Advertisement Options for DNS Configuration
                  draft-ietf-6man-rdnss-rfc6106bis-14

Abstract

   This document specifies IPv6 Router Advertisement (RA) options
   (called DNS RA options) to allow IPv6 routers to advertise a list of
   DNS recursive server addresses and a DNS Search List to IPv6 hosts.

   This document obsoletes RFC 6106 and allows a higher default value of
   the lifetime of the DNS RA options to avoid the frequent expiry of
   the options on links with a relatively high rate of packet loss.
