I tried adding this to my local bind zone :
@ IN AAAA ::1 @ IN A6 ::1
when I reloaded the zones, however, this was in the logfile :
named[32616]: dns_rdata_fromtext: /etc/bind/db.local:15: near '::1': unexpected token
Does bind9 (in woody) understand IPv6 addresses? Do I need to do something special to make it serve these addresses?
On a more positive note, I just realized that my exim4 build (not yet packaged for debian) didn't understand v6 addresses. I looked in the exim docs and found that I needed HAVE_IPV6=yes in my Makefile. I set it and it worked like a charm! I didn't need to specify any extra includes or libs. That was a pleasant experience :-).
TIA, -D
PS. hehe, look what sig my random chooser gave us
Ops sorry for the previous email... I miseread the error.
In A6 the correct format is:
ip6-localhost IN A6 0 0::1
the error you get is because is missing the 0 between A6 and the address. btw I don't rember 100% why it's 0 but the bind documentation can help you.
this is what I have in my dns .. dns IN A6 0 3ffe:100:e:1::1
