    After reboot, the DNS resolver must be restarted before it will advertise the ipv6 address of the resolver

      No idea. Maybe try without a bunch of spaces in the filenames.

        @Derelict Had to rename .cap to .pcap

        packetcapture-prior-reboot.pcap

        packetcapture-after-reboot.pcap

          Don't know what to tell you. .cap is a valid extension.

          packetcapture.cap

            I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality.

              @Derelict It is pretty easy to reproduce. You just have to create an environment where the unbound does not get automatically restarted. Then you notice the ipv6 DNS problems after rebooting. Restarting the unbound service manually fixes it.

              My configuration:

              DHCPv6 Server is Disabled. RA is Unmanaged.

              Unchecked Resolver, DHCP Registration.

                It did not used to be allowed. The .cap extension was added recently.

                  OK. Guess that's the case then. I'd open a bug report at https://redmine.pfsense.org/ detailing the steps to reproduce, the expected behavior, and the observed behavior.

                      Cool. That is the channel to get the developers (I am not one) to look at it.

                        Hi

                        Just wanted to add also saw this issue during an upgrade from 2.4.4_3 to 2.4.5, I had previously unchecked "Register DHCP leases in the DNS Resolver" due to loads of restarts on the DNS Resolver service. On upgrading to 2.4.5 (I think unrelated to the upgrade, it was just because of the restart) I found an issue with my VoIP phone over IPv6 failing to register. Various trouble shooting later I ended up testing from a Windows PC using NSLOOKUP which picked up the DNS server on the IPv6 address but it was timing out and returning no results.

                        A Goggle brought me here, so as per OP I restarted the DNS Resolver and NSLOOKUP started returning addresses, and low and behold the VoIP phone registered back up. So definitely a bug somewhere.

                        Regards

                        Phil
