You can run your own DNS server, then have Linode slave the zone.

The Linode DNS Manager, when set up as a slave, will accept any record you define. You can set up an IPv6 PTR zone. Heck, you can set up an IPv4 PTR zone...it's all in the name.

You have to blame HE for not setting up reverse DNS. HE says 'We DO NOT delegate RDNS for the "Server IPv6 Address" or "Client IPv6 Address" above.'

They delegate reverse DNS for your routed /64 or routed /48, but they do not delegate reverse for the point-to-point IP address. That tripped me up too.

This is why everyone should use 6to4... It has reverse DNS.

You shouldn't use your point-to-point address assigned by HE for day-to-day work. They are not clear in explaining this, but it makes sense once you're familiar with it.

The advantage of that is hey, you get reverse DNS. You should assign out of your routed /48 or routed /64.

The point being however is that I don't feel the need to run every service imaginable on my 360 if an alternative is provided.

Afraid.org does a half decent job at RDNS for IPv6 on HE tunnels, but it is still a free service... Therefore if Linode can provide some DNS services which reduce the load on my linode why not others...

I never assumed there wouldn't be a way to do it, but the 'solutions' aren't as nice as managing them from a well thought out web panel. It would just be one more feature that makes Linode customers thnk 'wow they really thought this out, good job!'.

I'm not sure it's that big a differentiator without native IPv6 support in the first place. Until then, you're more or less winging it whether or not a particular feature is present.

I haven't see this asked or answered elsewhere, so I'll ask here.

Are VM instances running in the Fremont DC able to get native IPv6 service from HE or do we have to use tunnels there as well?

You would still need your own relationship and tunnel with Hurricane Electric, even in Fremont.

Are you planning on providing IPv6 in the future, even if only where it's available?

Jed said on IRC (so don't take this as official) that they probably wouldn't do IPv6 until it was offered in all datacenters that Linode hosts in.

Unless there's end-to-end IPv6 transport, with Native IPv6 name resolution, who cares?

Please enlighten me why I should setup IPv6 on a server that then has to tunnel everything thru IPv4.

What's the ROI (or I guess in this case ROT - return on time)?
