Libvirt currently intends not require updating to some recent version of
dnsmasq. Currently, that means besides 2.63, they want to handle
situations where dnsmasq-2.48 and dnsmasq-2.59 are installed on the system.
1. What is a "good" way to identify what services are supported by a
running dnsmasq. The one currently planned is to do "dnsmasq
--version", capture the output, and check the version id.
2. What version do you feel has good, solid support for statefull
(enable-ra) and stateless (ra-only)? As I first cut, I am guessing 2.60.
3. Do you consider that DHCPv6 is supported in 2.63? True, there will
be a problem running more than one instance of dnsmasq supporting DHCPv6
and, if you have not specified interface=, valid requests will be
ignored, but it is does, kind-a, sort-of "work."
If you want full service DHCPv6, then run at least dnsmasq-2.64test7 or
dnsmasq-2.63+patches.
