Re: IPv6 hostname resolution not working

Hi,

Thank you all for the quick responses, I couldnt figure out how to get BIND 
working. So i used the hosts file. (C:\\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts). 

Thanks again
Vikram

IPv6 hostname resolution not working

2009-07-15 Thread vikram
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.


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:fe56:7f27/64

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 
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.    IN    SOA    dnsserver. dummy.rms. {
   
    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
    )
;Name Servers
dnsserver    IN     fe80::a00:27ff:fe56:7f27/64
dnsserver    IN    A    192.168.1.8
@    IN    NS    dnsserver

;clients
client    IN    A    192.168.1.7    
client    IN     fe80::a00:27ff:fea8:81ed%5

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
