But all of this could easily have been avoided: why are we _discovering_ DNS addresses in the first place? Simply host them on well known addresses and you can hardcode those addresses, similar to the 6to4 gateway address. But no, no rough consensus on something so simple.
I'll admit right now that I don't know nearly enough about the IETF process, but it looks like there have been 2 separate attempts at this: draft-lee-dnsop-resolver-wellknown-ipv6addr - ID, expired draft-ohta-preconfigured-dns - ID, expired Until one of those is revived (or a similar draft is written), and makes it through IETF to reach RFC status, and there are assigned addresses from IANA, there are no well known addresses for anyone hardcode. ~Matt
