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.
