Hi Baptiste,

So now everything is working perfectly.  I have apparently changed 
nothing (in that I've returned everything back to normal after some 
testing/fiddling)  dnsmasq correctly responds to requests to link-local 
addresses both on the router (which it always did) and from a variety of 
clients.  I'm totally confused.

What I *am* becoming increasingly suspicious of is clients ability to 
understand the interface identifier syntax found in resolv.conf .eg. 
%wlan0  ie. nameserver fe80::62e3:27ff:feaf:9e50%wlan0   (Actually I was 
very impressed that the dhcpv6 client understood the fact it has 
received a link local address fe80::62e3:27ff:feaf:9e50 and knew to add 
the interface id!)

I'm doing a little bit of playing with 'dnseval' and that doesn't get 
link-local interface id syntax.

Confused,

Kevin
