=> I am doing that (I was busy with the eclipse :-).
I can see some considerable problems if the client initiates
contact with the DNS servers since typically ND & stateless config
would probably be done at kernel level. Usually DNS related stuff
happens at user level in my experience. Mixing the two might be a bit
of a headache, but not impossible.
=> fortunately I do ND prefix discovery & stateless config at user level.

a) The host machine pushes the information into the DNS system.
=> it is the thing I have in my TODO.
b) The DNS system pulls the information from the host machines as needed.
=> I believe in this case an ICMPv6 service will be better (there are
many proposals and some implementations of this)...
