[6bone] AW: IPv6 DNS forwarders

[Barker, Ron, vpe]

Thanks to all for the comments,

Something strange again happenen on Fri afteranoon.  The ping to the MS Relay Router started working. Once I was able to run a few tracesrts it became obvious what the corresponding passages in the
plethora of MS Docs were trying to tell me, e.g. that it is going to look for a relay router etc.  In addition to Pekkas comment, to which I subscribe whole heartedly, I should like to add that
notwithstanding the fact that this is a pre-release version, the deviation in operational behaviour between .NET and others, especially the numerous xxxBSDs, ought to occupy a prime position in
introduction / summary sections of the MS IPv6 documentaton, something that Vincent Pice and the Carnige Institute would applaud in catagory of "...winning friends..etc".  For Instance:

Is this reference to the MS relay router hard coded?? Perhaps a "persistent" relic of the test enviorment ( which is what I suspect ) that winds up on the CD.  Note that whenever
netsh.interface.ipv6.6to4 show relay is run, the very informative result is !default! 

Oh well, on the next chore.

Betreff: IPv6 DNS forwarders


Hi
In my home gateway, I have installed and configured bind-9.2.0
DNS server for both IPv4 and IPv6.  I have setup IPv4 forwarders
as follows:
forwarders {
 1.2.3.4;
 3.4.5.6;
};

>From my home gateway, i also have a  6to4-tunnel to a 6to4
relay-router, which inturn has tunnel to 6bone.
Can anyone please let me know how to setup such DNS forwarders
for IPv6?  Are there any IPv6 root servers?  Are there IPv6 DNS
servers in 6bone?  How can i configure my IPv6 DNS server to
be cognizant of IPv6 DNS forwarders?  How can my IPv6-only hosts
resolve the global IPv6 addresses?

Thanks and best rgds.
Ravi
