And it is also clear that his case does not need RA-based DNS
discovery, as was pointed by two of us.

In mobile case, mobile hosts need constant DNS service. It is NOT
acceptable that the mobile hosts try to find DNS server at
foreign environment sometime successfully and sometimes not
that DNS service MUST be bundled and share fate with HA service,
which should be configured simultaneously.

ND performs functionality already provided by ARP, DHCP and routing
protocols that it should disapper.

For example, DHCP collocated on routers is the mechanism to provide
address prefixes for autoconfiguration of addresses.
