You are right. But both of these nameservers are answering to queries, 
so I didn't see a problem with that.

With "global", do you mean a 2000::/3 address? Both radvd and 
wide-dhcpv6s provide addresses from the 2002:4db7:c08::/64 (my 6to4 
subnet) scope. That works with all IPv6 capable devices in my network up 
to now.

Does that mean that iPXE ignores the addresses from the 
2002:4db7:c08::/64 range that radvd and wide-dhcpv6s offer because they 
are not in the "global" (2000::/3) range?

I am a bit confused now. I attached two screenshots, "debug.png" with 
debug information and "ifconf.png" with the results of the ifconf command.

Thanks,
Sven
