I don't want the administrative pain in the ass of someone managing flat ip6.arpa reverses. No way, no way at all. Require the DNS server at the edge of the site be authoritative for the whole of fec0::/10 or blackhole the queries. (I don't think too many people would even want to register site-locals in the _global_ reverse DNS, queriable by anyone -- remember, they're not to be used globally, and reverses in and itself are already considered a "security hazard" by some.) Let's not go down the path of putting site-locals anywhere near the global ip6.arpa. -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems.
