Hello, Freebsd-net.

 This question is not very FreeBSD specific, but as my router and DNS
server are FreeBSD-based, I think a could ask it here and don't
subscribe do BIND-related list, Ok?

 When DHCPv4 is not available, Win7 clients on my network pick up
proper IPv6 prefix, but cannot pick up DNS server name from router
advertisment. In such situation Win7 clients try to use ff01::
multicast addresses for DNS resolution.

 I have bind server, which listens on all addresses (udp6 *:53), but
it seems, that it doesn't answer on these requests :(

 Is it possible to configure BIND (system one) to process such
requests?
