hmm yes, the ipv6 address wont fit in the ipv4 space, the other way
around would work but it will become a mess (apache log files for
example). so that's a no go. the l7 proxy could work, i have polipo
working but not for the outside world. i don't like compiling apache
with ipv6 support since i would end up with a non standard openbsd base
install (which will complicate upgrading and troubleshooting).

the faithd daemon als looks quit cool, although it maps the other way
around, it will be usefull when you have an ipv6 only network.

anyway, thanks for the good suggestions, i will have a look at apache2
(since i'm running svn too, this might be a good idea), or else i will
simply drop ipv6 for the http and wait for the ipv6 patches to be
included.

nat ipv6 - ipv4 using pf

[alwin]

hi misc mailinglist users,

i have a webserver and i'm using ipv6 and ipv4 addresses. the apache
server in openbsd does not support ipv6 so i tought i will use pf to nat
the ipv6 address to the ipv4 address for port 80. but pf for some reason
does not support this.

i added the following rule to /etc/pf.conf:

nat pass on vr0 from any to 2000:888:10:bbb::2 port http -
213.84.168.252 port http

and got the following error message :

/etc/pf.conf:40: no translation address with matching address family
found.

using rdr instead of nat gives thesame problem. if i read this correctly
pf does not support natting between different address families (eg ipv6
and ipv4). why is this? am i doing something wrong or is it not
supported? it should be relatively easy to add and have a great benefit
for the users since all ipv4 only servers could simply be made ipv6
enabled too.

alwin

ps. i'm running 4.1.
