Is there any working solution availabe which solves the current
reverse lookup problem (like shortly discussed on USAGI some weeks
before)?
Some Unix/g?libc or other resolvers only queries PTR for
reverses-dotted-nibbles.ip6.int
others (more newer ones) only for
reverses-dotted-nibbles.ip6.arpa
Afaik at the moment no implentation tries the other TLD, if first
query fails.
Not good, if a part of IPv6 addresses (2001::/16) are in ip6.arpa,
the others (2002::/16, 3ffe::/16) in ip6.int....
Mho: it's easier to provide information in both TLDs than fix all the
clients.
If already successful discussed somewhere, pls. send me a pointer.
