[TriLUG] IPv6 workshop

[Jonathan Woodbury]

I've not tried to see if dnsmasq can work with DHCPv6.  But I scratch
the itch you're describing with multicast DNS.  Ubuntu comes out of
the box with mDNS enabled.  I believe Macs do too.  You can get it in
Windows using Apple's Bonjour product which comes with iTunes.  At my
house I can resolve the names of my hosts by appending ".local" to
their host name.  I've seen it working for v4 and v6.
