Hi Folks, I am in the process of setting up an IPV6 testbed. It is comprised of w2k3r2 server vm's on an isolated virtual switch. As part of this process, i wish to confirm that bind (currently using 9.7.0-p2) can manage dns correctly for all ipv6 hosts.
from ipconfig on each server, my ipv6 addresses appear as follows :- fe80::250:56ff:fea6:1dfc%4 fe80::250:56ff:fea6:236%5 fe80::250:56ff:fe97:233a%5 I have a test domain called ipv6.com in which I have the AAAA records defined like so in the zone file:- bind 3600 IN AAAA fe80::250:56ff:fea6:1dfc%4 www 3600 IN AAAA fe80::250:56ff:fea6:236%5 dba 3600 IN AAAA fe80::250:56ff:fe97:233a%5 This fails with errors like: 25-Jun-2010 7:58:17.284 dns_rdata_fromtext: C:\WINDOWS\system32\dns\etc\ipv6.com.db:46: near 'fe80::250:56ff:fea6:236%5': bad IPv6 address and the zone is not loaded due to errors. If i leave off the part on each AAAA from the % onwards, the zone loads up ok and names resolve, but of course can not be used to reach the intended devices as the resolved addresses are missing the "%5". I believe the "%5" part is called the "link-local" component of the address. Can you please advise the correct syntax to have bind9 return the full ipv6 address plus the link-local component. Kind Regards Rep
