Vista/Win7 doesn't use the advertised DNS-server

I have a Linux box as server/router, on which I'm using radvd to send out RA's.
My radvd.conf: interface eth-loc {
AdvSendAdvert on;
prefix 2001:16d8:XXXX:XXXX::/64 {
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on;
AdvRouterAddr on;
};
RDNSS 2001:16d8:XXXX:XXXX::1 {
};
};
Radvd is working perfect, and Windows set an IP-adress and gateway. And by using the static IPv4 DNS, everything works fine.
But looking at the "details" tab in connection information shows no IPv6 DNS.
Have I done anything wrong, or doesn't Vista/Win7 support RFC 5006?

AFAIK, I think I remember reading somewhere that Vista doesn't support this. I've tried doing the same thing you have and I haven't been able to make it work either.

I don't think that Microsoft does RFC5006 yet.
There is however an open source project to add this capability:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rdnssd-win32/
I have not tested it yet, but it sounds promising.
Good Luck

I'm game to try, but does anyone know if the Cisco ASA series will advertise a DNS server? I know you can do it with Router Advertisement in *NIX, but haven't seen a place for it in the Cisco setup.
