  I would think that the address of the DHCPv6 servers should simply
be returned by one (or all) of the routers in the router advertisements.
(As an option)

  As a fallback, the DHCPv6 server could have a well known link local
address. RS/RA gets you on the network. RFC2462 says:

   stateful autoconfiguration complement each other. For example, a host
   can use stateless autoconfiguration to configure its own addresses,
   but use stateful autoconfiguration to obtain other information.   
   Stateful autoconfiguration for IPv6 is the subject of future work
   [DHCPv6].

  The key thing to realize is that DHCP{v4} does not just do address
configuration - it establishes some level of trust between the end node and
the infrastructure. In particular, a random v6 node is just NOT going to have
any trust relationship with the DNS server such that it can update the
reverse map. A DHCP server can have that.

  The DHC WG is working on ways of making that trust stronger.
  SEND is also doing similar things. This is not a DNSext issue.
