Description

Hello,

I now this is not the first time that this issue pops up, however never the less it is not ok. (refer to e.g. Bug #11105 closed
IPv6 RA RDNSS lifetime is too short, not compliant with RFC 8106)

However I get thousands (!!) of messages a day like

Mar 12 15:47:15 pfSense radvd[42079]: warning: (/var/etc/radvd.conf:360) AdvRDNSSLifetime <= 2*MaxRtrAdvInterval would allow stale DNS servers to be deleted faster
Mar 12 15:47:15 pfSense radvd[42079]: warning: AdvRDNSSLifetime <= 2*MaxRtrAdvInterval would allow stale DNS servers to be deleted faster
Mar 12 15:47:15 pfSense radvd[42079]: warning: AdvDNSSLLifetime <= 2*MaxRtrAdvInterval would allow stale DNS suffixes to be deleted faster

So please take care. If necessary in contact with the radvd developers

Louis
