Preface

Im sorry for writing this ebook.

Well, thats not quite accurate. What I mean is, Im sorry I didnt have time to update DNS and BIND to include all this new IPv6 material. DNS and BIND deserves a sixth edition, but Im afraid my schedule is so hectic right now that I just dont have time to write it. Heck, Im on a flight from Boston to Tampa as I write this. (Long flights are great for writing prefaces, not so great for writing books about Internet technologies. Though in-flight Internet access does help.)

This book is essentially all the material related to IPv6 that I would have included in the sixth edition of DNS and BIND (and will , once I get to it). It covers how DNS was extended to accommodate IPv6 addresses, both for forward-mapping and reverse-mapping. It describes how to configure a BIND name server to run on an IPv6 network and how to troubleshoot problems with IPv6 forward- and reverse-mapping. It even covers DNS64, a DNS-based transition technology that, together with a companion technology called NAT64, can help islands of IPv6-only speaking hosts communicate with IPv4 resources.

Audience

I wrote this book for DNS administrators who are rolling out IPv6 on their networks and who need to understand how to support IPv6 on those networks with DNS. This ebook covers the underlying theory, including the structure and representation of IPv6 addresses; the A, M, and O flags in Router Advertisements and what they mean to DNS; as well as the nuts and bolts, including the syntax of AAAA records and PTR records in the ip6.arpa reverse-mapping zone and the syntax and semantics of configuring a BIND name server.

Assumptions This Book Makes

This book assumes that you understand basic DNS theory and BIND configuration. It doesnt explain what a resource record is or how to edit a zone data file, or remind you that you need to increment the serial number of the zones SOA record before reloading it (other than just now)for that, I highly recommend DNS and BIND . But that shouldnt surprise you.

The book doesnt assume that you know anything in particular about IPv6, though.

Contents of This Book

This book is organized into five chapters as follows:

This chapter explains the motivation behind the move to IPv6 and describes the structure and representation of IPv6 addresses. It also introduces the syntaxes of AAAA records and PTR records in the ip6.arpa IPv6 reverse-mapping zone and explains how to delegate subdomains of ip6.arpa zones.

This chapter describes how to configure BIND name servers to run on IPv6 networks, including how to configure IPv6 master and slave name servers, how to use IPv6 addresses and networks in ACLs, and how to register and delegate to IPv6-speaking name servers. The chapter also includes a section on special considerations that may arise because IPv6 connectivity is not yet pervasive.

This chapter shows how to configure popular stub resolvers (Linux/Unix, Mac OS X and Windows) to query IPv6-speaking name servers. It also covers dynamic configuration of resolvers using DHCPv6 and Router Advertisements.

This chapter explains the DNS64 transition technology, which allows clients with IPv6-only network stacks to communicate with IPv4 servers.

This chapter describes how to use the common nslookup and dig troubleshooting tools to look up the IPv6 addresses of a domain name or reverse-map an IPv6 address to a domain name. It also covers how to query a name servers IPv6 address.
