Those are all part of DHCP. dnsmasq isn't capable of DHCPv6, you'll need to configure your client some other way (like running a DHCPv6 server or manual configuration).<div><br></div><div>I don't know what you mean by "How is the DNS server made aware that the client has connected?", since DNS connections between clients and servers use UDP which is connectionless (in general only zone transfers between peer servers are TCP). The client isn't connected, it just sends a datagram containing a request and dnsmasq sends a response back to the address whence the datagram came.<br>

Thank you Richard for your comments.<br>
<br>
But that doesn't help with explaining how to use the DNS portion (configuration). With IPv4 there are time server, dns search orders, etc that can be sent to the client when it connects via DHCP, but if DHCP doesn't exist anymore for IPv6, how is that information sent to each client?<br>

How is the DNS server made aware that the client has connected?<br><font color="#888888">

I have read that dnsmasq is ready to support IPv6. I was wondering what is<br>
required to enable this function? What changes to the config file are<br>
required? I am currently using dnsmasq to distribute IPV4 IP addresses and<br>
want to try to move to ipv6?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
