djbdns & PTR Records. (R(everse)DNS)

A

aunull

Howdy,

I have installed djbdns from FreeBSD ports. I am running FreeBSD 8.

I have setup my A and AAAA records and such and they are functioning correctly.

I need to setup a few PTR records for a domain name and an IPv6 address. I have not yet had my IPv6 range delegated to my name servers, but I would like djbdns functioning correctly before I delegated my IPv6 range to my name servers.

I would like to know:

  • How do I create a PTR record on an IPv6 address pointing to a domain name?
  • How do I bind djbdns to certain interfaces?


Thanks in advance!
I have compiled djbdns with IPv6 support
 
Not sure how djbdns creates zone files but for BIND you'll need something like this:
Code: 
$TTL 1D
@       IN SOA  b.5.c.1.8.8.8.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. root.dicelan.home. (
                                2008041407      ; serial
                                24h             ; refresh
                                30m             ; retry
                                2d              ; expire
                                3d              ; minimum
                                )
        IN NS   maelcum.dicelan.home.

$ORIGIN b.5.c.1.8.8.8.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.
1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0         IN      PTR     maelcum.dicelan.home.
0.9.1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0         IN      PTR     molly.dicelan.home.

I don't believe you need to create reverse records with djbdns.

On that link, it has a part on PTR records saying:

^fqdn:p:ttl:timestamp:lo

PTR record for fqdn. tinydns-data creates a PTR record for fqdn pointing to the domain name p.

Usually it would just be ^example.com:192.168.0.1. However, in this situation, I am trying to do a PTR record on an IPv6 address.

Just doing ^::1:example.com does not seem to work due to : cutting off after the first block. I've tried using a generator to generate the IPv6 address and using that, but I had no luck with that.
