Greetings all.
As I have been reading and following the developments reloating to IPv6 on the forums, I find myself with a question that I hope someone here can help me with. Currently, I have Comcast (US) for my internet service and everything is working well. My problem arises in that IPv4 works great and I have an Active Directory domain (complete with Exchange Server) set up for myself and my family, but currently I have to disable IPv6. Since Comcast chooses to use DHCP-PD for IPv6 Address Range Assignment, I must allow my Router to handle assignment of IPv6 Addresses. This task it accomplishes brilliantly, but that leaves me at the mercy of Comcast DNS Servers, which breaks my Domain.
What I am looking for is some way to have a static address for my AD/DNS Server available so that I can tell the router to assign it all clients and therefore keep my domain intact. I had thought that I could just use the Link Local address of the AD Server, but I need to be sure that address does not change - even when the router adds an IPv6 address to the server connection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am coming up on a planned maintenance window over the weekend.
Thanks to all in advance
