With the DNS forwarder enabled (Services -> DNS forwarder):

Quote
☑ Enable DNS forwarder

and with "Managed" IPv6 Router Advertisments being sent (Interfaces -> LAN):

Quote
Send IPv6 router advertisements
If this option is checked, other hosts on this interface will be able to automatically configure their IPv6 address based on prefix and gateway information that the firewall provides to them. This option should normally be enabled.

Flags: Managed ▼
If Managed is selected, other hosts on this interface will use DHCPv6 for BOTH address and non address allocation configuration.
If Other is selected, other hosts on this interface will use DHCPv6 for non address allocation only, like DNS.

My IPv6-only Windows 7 machine (i.e. not dual-stack) is not receiving the LAN IP(v6) address of the server:

Code:
>ipconfig /all

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:
...
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : fec0:0:0:ffff::1%1
                                    fec0:0:0:ffff::2%1
                                    fec0:0:0:ffff::3%1

If the machine is dual-stack, then i see the the LAN IPv4 address of the DNS forwarder:

Code:
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
