|
|
Hello everyone,
I just enabled ipv6 for my node (london facility) and everything is working fine. I completed successfully every suggested test in the networking guide and configured the ip6tables rules working together the existing iptables rules.
Now I need to enable IPv6 DNS resolution for my domain (so far just 1 domain), managed by Linode DNS manager.
My problem is that I can't find the "Add a new AAAA record" link in the DNS manager console, but only the "Add a new A record" link.
I suppose it is possible since the header of the dedicated list says "A/AAAA records".
Can you help me?
Thank you |

They can be added under the "A" section. The Manager determines if the entry should be an "A" (IPv4) or "AAAA" (IPv6) record.

You mean this: http://library.linode.com/networking/ipv6? Which I find rather brief and doesn't mention ip6tables. Other sources?
The output of ufw -status on my linode is:
Code: Status: active
To Action From
-- ------ ----
22 ALLOW Anywhere
80 ALLOW Anywhere
443 ALLOW Anywhere
22 ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
80 ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
443 ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
Does this means it is ok?

That cleared things up a bit. Do you have to add the square brackets or the /64 at the end when entering an IPv6 record?
If I understood correctly you have to add an AAAA record for every A record, meaning for every site and every subdomain: www.example.com, mail.example.com, pma.example.com, stats.example.com, ....
Thanx, |

Looks good.

Nope, just the IPv6 address itself, e.g. 2600:3c03::13:3f02 ... the brackets are just a convenience for host:port notation. You may (or, per RFC 5952 sec 4.2.1, MUST) compress out the zeros to the fullest extent possible.

Well, you don't have to do anything... :-)
But yes, anywhere you want an IPv6 address to appear, you'll need to add an AAAA record. Same as for IPv4 addresses and A records. If you have more than a few handfuls, this is a good opportunity to hone your Linode API skills. |
