[6bone] ip6.int or ip6.arpa or BOTH?

[Kimmo Suominen]

More recent versions of glibc only seem to look in ip6.arpa (e.g.
glibc-2.2.4-24 from RHL).  Other systems only look in ip6.int
(e.g. NetBSD).

I've been maintaining both ip6.arpa and ip6.int in nibble format, so
that at least all local nodes will be able to resolve names.  I only
edit files for ip6.arpa, and use a little Makefile to produce the
ip6.int files.

It would be nice to have ip6.arpa for 3ffe::/16, too...  :-)

| For reverse records, which zones should I be creating?  ip6.arpa or
| ip6.int?  Traces from some places show our reverse and some do not.  I
| have some machines (all using the same DNS servers) that show our reverse
| on our nets and some that do not.  The machines that don't show ours WILL
| show *some* other networks reverses for ipv6 addresses.
|
| So, can someone tell me how I should be set up?  I currently have ip6.int
| zones.
