IP6.INT Zone really needed?
[de] Shadow Hawkins on Saturday, 10 May 2008 20:28:41
Hi,... i'm a little bit confused of the documentation about the ip6.int zone. Maybe i'm stick to old doc's... :-) Anyway, is there a _real_ reason to have this zone in reverse on today days? zone "x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.IP6.INT" even if the ip6.arpa exist on the name server? zone "x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.IP6.ARPA" That's because my bind9 refused to work with my ip6.int zonefile and i can't figure out why. The ip6.arpa works fine for me... so can i safely drop the ip6.int? greeting stefan --

ip6.int is not even delegated anymore. As such, it isn't in use. ns{1|2|3}.sixxs.net have for ip6.int:
@ IN SOA ns1.sixxs.net. hostmaster.sixxs.net. ( 2004101301 ; Serial 10800 ; Refresh 3600 ; Retry 2419200 ; Expire 604800 ) ; Default TTL NS ns1.sixxs.net. NS ns2.sixxs.net. NS ns3.sixxs.net. DNAME ip6.arpa.
Thus anyone even remotely trying to query them (though I don't see how anymore) ends up at the ip6.arpa equivalent.
