Configuring BIND to determine IPv6 addresses

Postby PatrickDickey » Sat Apr 21, 2012 2:58 am

Hi everyone,

I've got BIND set up with the defaults that Amahi configured when I installed. My network uses both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, however I don't have IPv6 DNS abilities. So, what I would like to know is how to enable the DNS server in Amahi to find and resolve IPv6 only addresses. I will be using webmin to configure the server, if that makes a difference.

Here is my current named.conf file. I'm not sure what I need to add/change to enable the server to look up the IPv6 addresses for hosts.

Code: Select all

# automatically generated file by hdactl options { listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; }; directory "/var/named"; dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db"; statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt"; memstatistics-file "/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt"; forward only; forwarders { 208.67.222.222; 208.67.220.220; }; listen-on port 53 { 192.168.2.99; 127.0.0.1; }; allow-query { trusted; }; }; acl "trusted" { localhost; 10.8.0.0/16; 192.168.2.0/24; }; logging { channel default_debug { file "data/named.run"; severity dynamic; }; }; key "ddnskey" { algorithm hmac-md5; secret "removed to protect the key"; }; view "internal" { match-clients { trusted; }; match-destinations { trusted; }; zone "local.lan" IN { type master; notify no; file "dynamic/hda-n2a.conf"; allow-update { key ddnskey; }; check-names ignore; }; zone "2.168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; notify no; file "dynamic/hda-a2n.conf"; allow-update { key ddnskey; }; check-names ignore; }; # NOTE, you can create a file /etc/named.conf.local and it will be automatically included here! # WARNING - you better not break the format though! };
Thanks for any assistance in enabling IPv6 resolution.

Have a great day:)
Patrick.

Just to make this more clear, what I want to do is turn my Amahi server into an IPv6 DNS server for my local network. How do I go about doing this? By virtue of the installation, it's already an IPv4 DNS Server for the local network.

Have a great day:)
Patrick.
