Hi Fredrik, yes you are right, Apples zeroconf initiative called Bonjour ( www.apple.com/bonjour).
I also know an engineer at Apple, and according to him, the only way of influencing decisions of what should be fixed / added etc. is to bugreport it (@ https://bugreport.apple.com). The more people that do this, the better, and more likelier that it will be implemented.
So, spread the word... let Apple know what you think about (the lack of) DHCPv6.
But, what is the need for dhcpv6 if you have technologys like IPv6 SAC mechanism with (for example) MulticastDNS ( draft-cheshire-dnsext-multicastdns.txt) support. IMHO at least 80% of standard (office) environments don`t need any dhcpv6 support. Let me know what you are think about it. Regards Michael
