Yes, that's preferable. > In other words; if I have machines with ipv6 adresses that I can reach > globally, but don't have a dns name for them, the usefulness is very > limited. > > Is that challenge solved somehow with ipv6? > It doesn't look like dyndns.org supports ipv6 in their free service. Why use dyndns.org? Your IPv6 address isn't dynamic. Usually you get a static /64 subnet assigned, and the reverse DNS is delegated to you, so you have full control. My home ISP doesn't support native IPv6 yet (though they say they're working on it), but they host a SixXS node, so I registered with sixxs.org. (Everybody can register with them, even if your ISP doesn't have its own node.) Once you have registered, you can request a tunnel, and then you can get a static /64 subnet assigned, including reverse DNS delegation. Works fine for me. Now I can start to assign IPv6 addresses to my LEGO bricks. :-) Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
