Lars Eggert No Objection
INTRODUCTION, paragraph 4: > This document specifies IPv6 Router Advertisement options to allow > IPv6 routers to advertise a list of DNS recursive server addresses > and a DNS search list to IPv6 hosts. Please add one sentence that says that this obsoleted RFC5006 and what the differences are. Section 5.3.2., paragraph 2: > Second, if different DNS information is provided on different network > interfaces, this can lead to inconsistent behavior. The IETF is > working on solving this problem for both DNS and other information in > Multiple Interfaces (MIF) working group. RFCs are permanent, and referring to ephemeral WGs will be a bit confusing a few years down the road. Suggest to talk about the IETF instead and maybe informally refer to some documents from the MIF WG by reference.

1. Same comment as DBH - I do not understand what are the 'certain reasons in network management' mentioned in 6.2 and 6.3 and I would suggest that these are either explained or taken out. 2. I do not believe that the title of the document after approval needs to carry RFC 5006bis as the fact that it obsoletes RFC 5006 will be part of the first page header.

n section 6.2, I do not understand the text "from being used any more for certain reasons in network management,". Can you clarify the reasons and the relation to network management?

The following statement seems arguable at best: "This is because learning DNS information via the RA options cannot be worse than learning bad router information via the RA options."
