Re: [bitfolk] IPv6 reverse DNS

Thanks, all, for your help so far.

I've decided to set up bind on my VPS and use that to serve PTR records for my IPv6 address.

This is what've I done so far but I'm not familiar with bind. Is this right? How do I test it?

My IP block is 2001:ba8:1f1:f1fc::/64 and my IP is 2001:ba8:1f1:f1fc::2

- I've set up bind
- I've added a bit to named.conf.local
- I've created the file /etc/bind/zones/2001.ba8.1f1.f1fc-db

Thanks again,

Alex




named.conf.local looks like this:

//
// Do any local configuration here
//

// Consider adding the 1918 zones here, if they are not used in your
// organization
//include "/etc/bind/zones.rfc1918";

zone "c.f.1.f.1.f.1.0.8.a.b.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/zones/2001.ba8.1f1.f1fc-db";
};

zones/2001.ba8.1f1.f1fc-db looks like this:
