Ah, then also bear in mind that the PTR record you've installed on unbound is 
only visible to people using that unbound instance in their resolver chain. The 
rest of the world won't see it. You need to ask Sky to install the PTR record 
you need (or to delegate a zone to your servers, somewhere else on the 
Internet). If the v6 address they assign to you is really dynamic (not just in 
theory, but in practical terms) then this might be a challenge.

However, I seem to remember drinking beer with v6 people from Sky in some 
European city or other at some point (Helsinki, maybe?) and I seem to think 
they will send you a static prefix over DHCPv6 if you request a prefix 
delegation. If you can get a /48 or /56 or whatever it is they hand out and 
number your mail server out of there, you will likely have more luck. You still 
need to talk to Sky to get the PTR record installed, though.

(Random advice found on Internet, in case it's useful: "sky's dhcp requires the 
router to initiate the prefix delegation request and not request an ip instead 
of waiting for a RA. next that on disconnection dhcp should "not" send a 
release otherwise the prefix will change on reconnection.")

I'll leave it to others in a better timezone to look at your Unbound-specific 
questions. I'm only two espressos into the day, here.


Joe
