hi,
I am trying to setup BIND9 as a DNS server for local IPv6 name resolution
within a LAN. I've been reading through related threads on forums and
whatever documents Google comes up with. I am new to this and haven't been
able to get it to work so far and could really use some help.
Link locals are difficult to work with. There is no way to specify
the link in the DNS. To use the addresses you need to specify a link
identifier which is node specific.
I suggest that you generate a ULA prefix (RFC4193) and use that.
heres the network:
Ubuntu 8.10 running BIND 9.5.0-P2
IPv4 - 192.168.1.8
IPv6 - fe80::a00:27ff:fe56:7f27/64
hostname - dnsserver
Windows XP SP2 (IPv6 Protocol installed)
IPv4 - 192.168.1.7
IPv6 - fe80::a00:27ff:fea8:81ed%5
hostname - winclient
Both the IPv6 addresses are autoconfigured, while IPv4 addresses are via DHCP.
As long as iam working with IPv4, things work. I forced dnsserver's IPv4
address on winclient's DNS settings.
i can ping winclient and it resolves its IPv4 address. (i get replies from
the IPv4 address)
However, as soon as i add dnsserver's IPv6 address as DNS using
netsh interface ipv6 add dns Local Area Connection fe80::a00:27ff:fe56:7f
27/64
I am no longer able to resolve winclient's IP address (i get replies from IPv6
loopback address ::1).
On dnsserver:
this is the /etc/bind/named.conf.options file=20
listen-on-v6 { any; };
and this is the /etc/bind/named.conf.local file
zone dnsserver. {
type master;
file /etc/bind/db.dnsserver;
};
this is the zone file (/etc/bind/db.dnsserver)
;forward lookup zonefile
$TTL 86400
dnsserver.INSOAdnsserver. dummy.rms. {
=20
2009071309; Serial no., based on date
21600 ; Refresh after 6 hours
3600 ; Retry after 1 hour
604800 ; Expire after 7 days
3600 ; Minimum TTL of 1 hour
)

You don't specify the link identifier in records.
I have tried turning iptables and ip6tables off, it still doesn't work.
I have checked that IPv6 is enabled on Ubuntu using lsmod|grep ipv6.
There must be something i am missing here, please help!
Thanks
