Um.. sure. :) Your computer can't handle that? How about a programmatic expansion? Only create the necessary record when asked for it. > Slightly more seriously, there have been discussions in the past about doing > dynamic synthesis of v6 reverses, but that gets icky (particularly if you > invoke the dreaded "DNSSEC" curse) and I don't know any production server > that actually does this now. Dynamic DNS is probably the least offensive > solution if you really want reverses for your v6 nodes. DNSSEC does seem to throw the proverbial wrench in the works.. At least, from what I understand.. I'm still not sold on DNSSEC and that, partly, has to do with a lack of knowledge.. If you allow a client to set their own reverse, don't you run into issues where the client can spoof their identity? ie, set their reverse to whitehouse.gov or bankofamerica.com ? Or is it possible to configure DDNS in such a way as to only allow subdomain names where the domain is tacked on automagically? > Regards, > -drc --------------------------- Jason 'XenoPhage' Frisvold xenoph...@godshell.com --------------------------- "Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology." - Niven's Inverse of Clarke's Third Law
