I haven't maintained DNS tables manually for ages even in IPv4. I do, however, seriously need to update my DNS package to maintain IPv6 addresses. http://code.google.com/p/hostdb/ My personal IPv6 hosts are at a VPS who maintains the DNS records for me, so it is a bit difficult to test. (I also need to learn enough DNSSEC to make HostDB do that too) Patches accepted :-) Tom -- http://EverythingSysadmin.com -- my blog (new posts Mon and Wed) http://www.TomOnTime.com -- my advice (more videos coming soon) _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
