I can't get my server answering properly on an aaaa lookup


I have setup my own ipv6 IPs but my DNS refuses to give answers, despite being configured.

Its sort of working as nslookup returns against the ip6 IP or domain name a 'no answer' not a NXDOMAIN.

Also if I lookup the IP6 IP I get an answer but compains no PTR record.

Relivent section out of named.conf

zone "1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.4.6.4.3 .1.b.c.2.0.0.2.ip6.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "2002:cb13:4641:.db";
};

the "2002:cb13:4641:.db

$TTL 1H
@ SOA test.address. root.test.address. ( 2
15M
10M
1D
1H )
NS primary.test.address.
1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 PTR ipv6.primary.test.address.


I subsituted the actual name to test.address

Also I do have an aaaa record in the domains config file.

It sort of works as I don't get NXRECORD on a nslookup of the ipv6 address, but a no PTR record.

I then decided to try in the bind GUI but it crashes, and if I remove these entries and put in the new aaaa record with the reverse record, it does create them, but it refuses to save the config it just sits there.

My dns server does answer any external aaaa lookup so it's really weird.

never did it but found this.

maybe it is helpful

Thanks!

After playing around I got it working forward and reverse!

What's great is the machines are accessible over the net on ipv6!
