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

as usual, there has been a bit of a misunderstanding... being a loosely typed
language, Engliosh is difficult to communicate in :-0
Names, addresses and DNS are obviously different things.
I understand where IPv6 addresses come from (sort of).
I understand (sort of) how IPv6 works for DNS

paul van den bergen [EMAIL PROTECTED] granted us these pearls of wisdom:

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.] ;-)
