However, I noticed that I have to enter DNS servers manually. Is there a way to set up dns servers for clients automatically without using DHCPv6? I know there are extensions that support rDNS servers& DNS search domains via the stateless protocol but is there a way I can also send DNS server info?

I stopped needing radvd 2 years ago when my new gateway router gave me
the needed functionality.
But here is an example from my radvd.conf:
interface eth1.16
{
AdvSendAdvert on;
MinRtrAdvInterval 3;
MaxRtrAdvInterval 10;
prefix 2607:f4b8:3:3::/64
{
AdvOnLink off;
AdvAutonomous on;
AdvRouterAddr on;
AdvPreferredLifetime 20;
AdvValidLifetime 30;
};
route ::/0
{
};
};
Note the AdvRouterAddr line. This gets the interface address of the
router being sent to the clients

My research on it seems to confirm this but I just want someone else whi has had real world experience with this.
