Hi all,
given how clearly you-all answered my query about 'hostname' (thanks folks) I
thought I'd chance my luck.
so, let me get this straight...
in the IPv4 world there is this thing called DNS and domain names... I can buy
my self a name off a name vendor - eg. bergen.org... I then get to
Ooops...
I forgot the most important part of my question... IPv6
how does this all work under IPv6? is the IPv6 domain name allocation as
fully fledged as teh IPv4 services? I.e. are there and what are the
restrictions on who can set up a name broker service for IPv6? what are the
likely
Question 1) where does the DNS record for that name reside? with my ISP? with
the name vendor?
Let's assume that the name is bergen.org.
bergen.org is stored in three places:
* the registry for .org (http://www.pir.org/)
points bergen.org to a registrar.
* the registrar pointed to by

Registrars (and registries) are not responsible for this. In the

Names, addresses and DNS are obviously different things.
I understand where IPv6 addresses come from (sort of).

Names, addresses and DNS are obviously different
if I operate a network, boxen1.example.org, boxen2.example.org, etc., as an
IPv4 address space and a second coincident network, boxen1.example6.org,
boxen2.example6.org, etc., as an IPv6 based address space, where does the
authority to allocate the IPv6-network based names reside?
AFAIK,
You are responsible for keeping track of the names
under *.example.org, *.example6.org, *.example46.org.
There is no such thing as an IPv6[-only] domain name.
If you asked about PTR records, this would be more
interesting... [Hint: ip6.arpa.] ;-)
