Curious what the groups thoughts are on this....
 
 
Aren't most of the ALG items for IPv6 12.3 train implementations?

And here is how to configure it:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/sw/iosswrel/ps5187/products_conf
iguration_guide_chapter09186a00801d65f5.html#wp1126687

The example shows router configured as both DHCP server and the actual IPv6
router, but certainly the server can be remote. The command "ipv6 nd
other-config-flag"(http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/
ios123/123cgcr/ipv6_r/ipv6_07g.htm#wp1921566) is the key here as it tells
the host to go to DHCP server for more information after the IPv6 address is
obtained via stateless configuration. So the DNS info can be pulled from
the DHCP server.

Best Regards,
Alexei

According to rfc3736

To obtain configuration parameters through stateless DHCP, a node uses the
DHCP Information-request message. DHCP servers respond to the node's
message with a Reply message that carries configuration parameters for the
node. The Reply message from the server can carry configuration
information, such as a list of DNS recursive name servers [3] and SIP
servers [5].

this should be how the process looks like =)
