dhcp6 and fqdn support (for dns)



I am trying to set up an IPv6 virtual network using dnsmasq to support the dhcp and dns. Recently (the last couple of releases) dnsmasq has supported dhcp with updating dns.

I have gotten it so that the IPv6 addresses are assigned correctly but I have been driving myself nuts trying to figure out why it does not update the dns with the IPv6 address. I have come to the conclusion that it is because NetworkManager does not send the fqdn.

I am not sure if fqdn is required or if the hostname would be OK. However, in looking at some of the dhcp documentation for options, it appears that fqdn should be specified and not just the hostname.

Before I turn in some bug reports and look at the code, is my understanding correct?
