hi,
I am trying to setup BIND9 as a DNS server for local IPv6 name resolution
within a LAN. I've been reading through related threads on forums and whatever
documents Google comes up with. I am new to this and haven't been able to get
it to work so far and could really use some help.
heres the network:
Ubuntu 8.10 running BIND 9.5.0-P2
IPv4 - 192.168.1.8
IPv6 - fe80::a00:27ff:fe56:7f27/64
hostname - dnsserver
Windows XP SP2 (IPv6 Protocol installed)
IPv4 - 192.168.1.7
IPv6 - fe80::a00:27ff:fea8:81ed%5
hostname - winclient
Both the IPv6 addresses are autoconfigured, while IPv4 addresses are via DHCP.
As long as iam working with IPv4, things work. I forced dnsserver's IPv4
address on winclient's DNS settings.
i can ping winclient and it resolves its IPv4 address. (i get replies from the
IPv4 address)
However, as soon as i add dnsserver's IPv6 address as DNS using
netsh interface ipv6 add dns "Local Area Connection" fe80::a00:27ff:fe56:7f27/64
I am no longer able to resolve winclient's IP address (i get replies from IPv6
loopback address ::1).
On dnsserver:
this is the /etc/bind/named.conf.options file
listen-on-v6 { any; };
and this is the /etc/bind/named.conf.local file
zone "dnsserver." {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.dnsserver";
};
this is the zone file (/etc/bind/db.dnsserver)
;forward lookup zonefile
$TTL 86400
dnsserver. IN SOA dnsserver. dummy.rms. {
2009071309 ; Serial no., based on date
21600 ; Refresh after 6 hours
3600 ; Retry after 1 hour
604800 ; Expire after 7 days
3600 ; Minimum TTL of 1 hour
)
;Name Servers
dnsserver IN AAAA fe80::a00:27ff:fe56:7f27/64
dnsserver IN A 192.168.1.8
@ IN NS dnsserver
;clients
client IN A 192.168.1.7
client IN AAAA fe80::a00:27ff:fea8:81ed%5
I have tried turning iptables and ip6tables off, it still doesn't work.
I have checked that IPv6 is enabled on Ubuntu using lsmod|grep ipv6.
There must be something i am missing here, please help!
Thanks
