rdnssd_win32 ============ Introduction ------------ rdnssd_win32 is an implementation of the RFC 5006 for Microsoft Windows. It parses the RDNSS options present in Router Advertisement (RA), get the DNS nameservers and write them in the registry. Compilation ------------ To compile rdnssd_win32 you need: - Visual Studio 2015. Open rdnssd_win32.sln. Go to project => Properties, select "Configuration properties" and be sure that platform is right for you (win32 or x64). Build the solution. Configuration -------------- rdnssd_win32 listens on all network interfaces for RA. An optional parameter "-b" is used for the service mode, see next section. Installation ------------- On the target, you have to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Package. Install as service: Copy rdnssd_win32 to a directory (here c:\rdnssd\) then in a console type: sc create rdnssd binPath= "c:\rdnssd\rdnssd_win32.exe -b" If you want to change ifname parameter after installation: sc delete rdnssd Limitations ------------ rdnssd_win32 works only on Microsoft Windows >= Vista as well as Windows server >= 2003. On older versions such as Windows XP, IPv6 nameservers are written at the good place but could not be used because they do not provide a DNS resolver with IPv6 transport.
