Hey,

+1 for going with dhcpcd - it's great software, has link detection, is
not bloated, but does have enough configuration options.

Both for the server and client world. And: I think it might even make my
rdnssd request for base redundant, as it can read DNS servers from RAs
in the IPv6 world.

Just my 0.02 CHF,

Nico
