Actually, lots more than five. E.g., NTP servers, preferred WINS servers (sorry, AD servers) and many other interesting (to some) items. And, the DNS domain my laptop joins depends on the network where it is connected in accordance with business policies in effect. Thus, DHCPv6 is of great interest for portable systems.
Operationally, this has been met from my experience. In fact, all of these items are handled with stateless DHCPv6 in coordination with SLAAC. Stateful DHCPv6 seems to be limited with some vendors, but unless they plan to do proxy-nd, I'm not sure they'll gain much except for end system compatibility. Jack
