Hi all,

The officially adopted RFC for IPv6 reverse is RFC3596

old RFCs
RFC 1886 said that the IPv6 reverse resolution suffix is ip6.int.
[win2000dns server is compliant, I've not tried Win2k3]

RFC 3152 said that the IPv6 reverse resolution suffix is ip6.arpa.
[win2003dns server is compliant]

current RFC
RFC 3596 says that the IPv6 reverse resolution suffix is ip6.arpa.
[only win2003dns server is compliant]

#
I've tried to create, in win2k DNS server,
a reverse zone for IPv6

Actually, there is no support for ip6.int zones under the reverse resolution tree.
So I've created a direct resolution .ip6.int zone
and magically is disappeared from direct res. and is appeared under reverse res. tree...

So I,ve tried to create a reverse zone for RFC3596
I've tried using the normal procedure (Create zone > Primary > ZoneName > New Zone File > failed! unable to create)
and the file-driven procedure ((Create zone > Primary > ZoneName > Use that File > failed! unable to create)

So, there are NO WAY to create a ip6.arpa zone in win2k dns server.
#

I hope that Microsoft will (immediately) ASAP patch the win2k dns server
enabling RFC3596 support for ip6.arpa reverse resolution zones

thanks
Francesco

I haven't tried it out yet, but see if this helps.
