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

[Kimmo Suominen]

The example just runs sed on the files, storing the results in a separate
file.  It looks a bit complex because I was using BSD-make to derive the
name of the generated (sed output) file from the original (replacing all
colons with underscores).

Basically I just do

    sed -e 's/\.ip6\.arpa/.ip6.int/g' x.x.x.ip6.arpa > x.x.x.ip6.int

for each x.x.x that I have.

Regards,
+ Kim

| That sure looks like an IPv4 in-addr.arpa zone to me.

| I think we're going to wind up with something like this:
|
| zone "0.f.4.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.int" {
|         type master;
|         file "ipv6/0.f.4.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.int";
| };
|
| zone "0.f.4.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa" {
|         type master;
|         file "ipv6/0.f.4.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa";
| };
|

|
| I'm just wondering folks.  Since we have perfectly good ip6.int, why do we
| even WANT/NEED ip6.arpa?
|
