Subject: LLMNR issue 21: PTR queries

As requested by the chair here is what I said
in the meeting:

In IPv6 Neighbor discovery the routers might be configured to
operate so that the hosts are not told which prefixes are on the link
(or not told about all of them). This works by packets going to the
router and it being able to redirect to the destination should
the destination be on link.

Due to this the hosts can not always determine when the PTR query target
is on-link. Hence it makes sense to always send the PTR queries in LLMNR.
