  1. Name Service in IPv6 Mohd Norman Maraddin

  2. IPv6 and DNS • Assumptions : Everyone knows / has little knowledge on how to configure the IPv4 DNS

  3. Basic Ideas • DNS in IPv6 is much like DNS in IPv4 • Keep files and delegations as simple as possible. • Can use IPv4 as transport for DNS for now. • Modern versions of Bind will work – Bind9 is stable and works with IPv6. • There is work on dynamic DNS in progress, but we don’t need to worry about that for now.

  4. Important Terms • A – address record maps a host name to 32-bit IPv4 address (Forward lookup) • AAAA – address record maps a host name to 128-bit IPv6 address (Forward lookup) • ip6.arpa – Reverse mapping name space for IPv6 • ip6.int – Reverse mapping name space which has been deprecated but still maintained by some hosts

  5. Platforms • FreeBSD or LINUX • Bind/DNS • Version 9 with IPv6 support. www.bind9.net/manuals www.isc.org • Name Server Daemon (NSD) • Latest - version 2.3.3 www.nlnetlabs.nl/nsd/ • Microsoft DNS • Windows server 2003

  6. Forward Lookup (AAAA) • Uses AAAA records for assign IPv6 addresses to names. • Multiple addresses possible for any given name – for example, in a multi-homed situation. • Can assign A records and AAAA records to a given name/domain. • Can also assign separate domains for IPv6 and IPv4. • Don’t be afraid to experiment!

  7. Configuration – Sample Forward Lookup • ;; nav6.org (use your favorite naming scheme) • $TTL 86400 • @ IN SOA ns1.nav6.org. root.nav6.org. ( • 2006071701 ; serial - YYYYMMDDXX • 21600 ; refresh - 6 hours • 1200 ; retry - 20 minutes • 3600000 ; expire - long time • 86400) ; minimum TTL - 24 hours • ;; Nameservers • IN NS ns1.nav6.org. • IN NS ns2.nav6.org. • ;; Hosts with just A records • norman IN A 219.93.2.111 • ;; Hosts with both A and AAAA records • rahmat IN A 219.93.2.115 • IN AAAA 2001:468:100::2 • :: Separate domain • $ORIGIN ip6.domain.edu • cwtan IN AAAA 2001:468:100::1

  8. Reverse lookup (ip6.arpa) • Reverses should be put in for both ip6.int and ip6.arpa domains. • The ip6.int domains has been deprecated, but some hosts still use them. • Can use same file for both – use the @ notation and point to the same file in the named.conf file.

  9. Configuration – Reverse Lookup • ;; 0.0.0.0.0.0.1.0.8.6.4.0.1.0.0.2.rev (use your favorite naming scheme • ;; These are reverses for 2001:468:100::/64) • ;; File can be used for both ip6.arpa and ip6.int. • $TTL 86400 • @ IN SOA ns1.nav6.org. root.nav6.org. ( • 2002093000 ; serial - YYYYMMDDXX • 21600 ; refresh - 6 hours • 1200 ; retry - 20 minutes • 3600000 ; expire - long time • 86400) ; minimum TTL - 24 hours • ;; Nameservers • IN NS ns1.nav6.org. • IN NS ns2.nav6.org. • 1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 IN PTR norman.nav6.org • 2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 IN PTR rahmat.nav6.org • ;; • ;; Can delegate to other nameservers in the usual way • ;;

  10. Sample configuration file (named.conf) • // named.conf (use your favorite naming scheme) • zone “nav6.org” { • type mater; • file “master/nav6.org”; • } • zone “0.0.0.0.0.0.1.0.8.6.4.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.int" { • type master; • file "master/0.0.0.0.0.0.1.0.8.6.4.0.1.0.0.2.rev"; • }; • zone “0.0.0.0.0.0.1.0.8.6.4.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa" { • type master; • file "master/0.0.0.0.0.0.1.0.8.6.4.0.1.0.0.2.rev"; • };

  11. How to test? • Try resolving an IPv6 name – ping the an IPv6 domain name • Try to resolve using nslookup command: • nslookup v6training.nav6.org or • ping v6training.nav6.org • Should see that the name being resolved to IPv6 address

  12. Issues • IPv6 address is long and this create space for human error especially in the reverse lookup
