I have incorporated these changes (aside from the he specific config) into
the next build of cero. (which has dnsmasq 2.66 test12 in it.

Thx everyone for tracking this down.

Incidentally, how do I get dnsmasq to hand out more than one dns server to
clients? I'd like it to
do so - one for ipv6 and for ipv4, or 2 for ipv4, etc.

What happens now is you can configure dnsmasq to talk to tons of dns
servers but it only hands out itself. Given the timeouts in DNS and so on
it seems saner to hand out two, or more, to clients, as per the RFC (if you
have two or more)

Another place I was stuck was on getting dhcpv6-pd to work. I'd setup an
isc-dhcp server as a test (on a laptop, pretending to be the master box)
and I could see it handing out a /56 prefix, as configured, but only the
external ge00 address would be configured. What seemed to be happening was
bombing out in the netifd script not putting in the ".ge00" interface into
a ubus function call. It was also only distributing a /128 to clients...

Perhaps now that this other stuff is correct, that will work. I will try it
in the morning.

this was how I'd setup the "dhcpv6 server"'s /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

subnet6 2001:db8:0:1::/64 {
        # Range for clients
        range6 2001:db8:0:1::129 2001:db8:0:1::254;
        # Additional options
        option dhcp6.name-servers 2001:db8:0:1::1;
        option dhcp6.domain-search "cerowrt.org";
        # Prefix range for delegation to sub-routers
        prefix6 2001:db8:0:100:: 2001:db8:0:f00:: /56;
        # Example for a fixed host address
        host specialclient {
                host-identifier option dhcp6.client-id
00:01:00:01:4a:1f:ba:e3:60:b9:1f:01:23:45;
                fixed-address6 2001:db8:0:1::127;
        }
}

I think the last unaligned_instruction trap is dead.

Lastly, there is another nifty new feature of dnsmasq - secondary domain
updates. I have no idea how to get that going...

This is an artifact of formerly using the isc ntp server in cero (for the
multicast, and autokey support, as well as for the possible linkage to the
gpsd daemon for a 1pps signal) At some future point I'd like to make this
work again (because testing against a stratum 1 clock like what gpsd can do
has long been on my list of worthwhile things to do), but I have no problem
with using the well integrated smaller default ntp server in openwrt.
(well, I'd like it to do ipv6, too)

I have made these two packages optional and enabled the local ntp server.

Still up here, no matter what ntp client/server is used is some means of
doing dnssec again.
