Hi, Michelle. Best practice is to choose your 64-bit interface identifiers randomly, for example 7492:4f89:d821:cf19. Your complete IPv6 address would then be 2a01:4f8:d12:1300:7492:4f89:d821:cf19. When you generate your own random IIDs, mask them with FCFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF to clear the universal and group bits. Or if you just want to choose a simple address for testing, you could use 2a01:4f8:d12:1300::2.
On Debian, in /etc/network/interfaces configure the above sample address as: iface eth0 inet6 static address 2a01:4f8:d12:1300:7492:4f89:d821:cf19 netmask 64 gateway 2a01:4f8:d12:1300::1 In /etc/resolv.conf, place IPv6 addresses of DNS servers if you have those. In /etc/bind/named.conf.options, you will need to include: options { listen-on-v6 { any; }; }; Regards, Jeff. -----Original Message----- From: bind-users-bounces+spainj=countryday....@lists.isc.org [mailto:bind-users-bounces+spainj=countryday....@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of Michelle Konzack Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2011 10:14 AM To: Bind Users Subject: Puzzeling about IPv6 Hello *, my ISP <http://www.hetzner.de/> is now offering an IPv6 /64 subnet for free for each Server. Not only Root-Servers but for realy ALL! OK, however, I like to setup my VHosts to use it, but I am puzzling around how to do this with bind9 (I run Debian) I have gotten this: IPs: 2a01:4f8:d12:1300:: /64 Gateway: 2a01:4f8:d12:1300::1 /64 Verwendbare IP-Adressen: 2a01:4f8:d12:1300::2 bis 2a01:4f8:d12:1300:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff sounds very much! Question: How should I choose the IPs?
