Because then it requires yet another network daemon, RA in
the kernel means there's no need for one to manage adding
auto-configured IP addresses... what's wrong with doing the
same for DNS?
I don't think it should be in resolv.conf format though. Can't
you make a change to glibc too to have it use it properly?
Something like "hosts: files rdnss dns" or an option that can
be added to resolv.conf?
