Hi,
If you plan to configure reverse dns for your IPv6 addresses, then you will
need to define the dns_server as the machine hosting your dns.
If you do not plan to do this, you can forget about it.
specifying dns_server tells the broker to delegate the specified server as
the dns server for your /64 (or /48), otherwise either your broker will
define reverse dns settings or none will be made at all (the ip wont resolve
to anything..nothing wrong with that though).
Make sense?

Subject: IPv6 DNS server and tspc client setting
Dear Josh :
Thanks for the info, but under what situtation I need
to do that?
In both cases, (leave it blank or not) I have to
configure my DNS server(bind9) to have PTR record for
reverse DNS .
Why I need to specify it in my tspc.conf ? There are
no gain to do that.
Any idea ?

In regards to your post on
[email protected] in regards to "IPv6 DNS
server and tspc client setting":
Incase you hadn't resolved your DNS issues with IPv6
Just allow me to clarify:
dns_server in your tspc.conf is only to specify a
dns server that will be used for reverse dns on your
IP block, this is not the server that your computer
will use to resolve hosts to their IPv6 address.
So if you plan to have your IPv6 addresses resolve
back to hostnames, then specify the dns server that
you have configured to do so (via PTR records in
bind9). Otherwise leave it blank. This will have no
effect on your ability to resolve hostnames that
have AAAA (IPv6) records assigned to it.
hope this helps.
Regards,
Josh Finlay
