I am doing a lot more then before with IPv6 lately. And one of the things I ran into
was adding reverse IPv6 entries to bind. i.e. 2001:980:5e60:1:f2b5:796f:fe12:9389
should have a reverse dns entry in the 0.6.e.5.0.8.9.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. zone.
To be more precise:
9.8.3.9.2.1.e.f.f.6.9.7.5.b.2.f.1.0.0.0 PTR test.ipv6.jeroen.se.
I made a simple perl script to reverse the IPv6 IP address for me:
ipv6reverse.pl
Usage:
ipv6reverse.pl 2001:980:5e60:1:f2b5:796f:fe12:9389
Output:
9.8.3.9.2.1.e.f.f.6.9.7.5.b.2.f.1.0.0.0.0.6.e.5.0.8.9.0.1.0.0.2
