My /etc/resolv.conf constantly get a mysterious entry, i run a home network with ipv6 provided by ravd, the interface is auto-configured by Network manager (all name server lookups are lost when this line is first in my /etc/resolv.conf) .

Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
**# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN**
nameserver fd00::1
nameserver 192.168.1.1
search home.int
When ping is working
cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 192.168.1.1
search home.int

So something is putting fd00::1 at start of file, not if I ping6 fd00::1 I get Destination unreachable: Administratively prohibited

To diagnose this I ran the router with single cable to connected to ubuntu machine. Ran tcpdump + restarted network on ubuntu. "tcpdump ip6 -e -i eth0 | grep fd00" finds nothing, it's not being advertised via the network..

The only hit I got was when an upstream router refused a connection attempt from the ubuntu machine to fd00::1.

I have also switched on debug for network manager & it appears to set the mystery line..

Any suggestions on how to find out where this comes from?
