Yes, it is ugly. and I think I need to decide how to rename it,
and maybe "127".
What we need to provide are the following PTR records:
1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.int.
1.0.0.0.in-addr.arpa.
1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.
and it is basically up to us where to split them.
current netbsd src/etc/namedb configuration is:
"127" supplies 127.in-addr.arpa. (contains "1.0.0")
"0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:000" supplies
0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.int.
(contains "1")
My preference is the following. I use this configuration in my home.
I split IPv6 address in 64bit boundary since most of IPv6 addresses
has prefix length of /64 (so the filename will align nicely with
others).
"127.0.0.rev" supplies 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. (contains "1")
"0000:0000:0000:0000.rev" supplies 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.int.
(contains "1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0")
"0.0.0.rev" supplies 0.0.0.in-addr.arpa. (contains "1")
any opinions?
