IPv6 DNS not being handled by the route and instead clients being sent to the external servers
I have Cloudflare DNS configured at the router. For IPv4 the router hands out its own IP for DNS (e.g. 192.168.1.1) and clients go to the router. However, if I enable IPv6 at the router, it h...
In the past there have been impassioned pleas to have the Orbi behave almost exactly this way: Users wanted Orbi to specify specific DNS servers to DHCP clients rather than follow the (industry standard?) practice of acting as a DNS forwarder. Those requests were in terms of IPv4 DNS, which appears to continue to follow the previous practice in the 850, which provides actual DNS server IP addresses only for IPv6.
Pretty clear there is no common code base, not even for the most basic functions.
Mercifully, my ISP does support IPv6 natively.
However, if the v6 DNS convention is different to the v4, then consider it case closed.
Maybe I need to setup a local DNS cache running somewhere instead and just point everything at that.
Given that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon, I guess I’ll just leave it as is.
Thanks everyone 🙇♂️
