So with out dhcpv6 client you can use "IPv6 Router Advertisement Options
for DNS Configuration" (RFC 5006^W6106^W8106) 

To use this on Linux you need to install the rdnssd client. radvd also
supports this option if you are using Linux as router.

Note: This is not supported on several older model routers so you can
either change the router, use dual-stack or DHCPv6 (which wont work for
Android devices).
