Hi all,

We want to build PTR record with IPv6 IP in RedHat Entrprise Linux AS 3.0.

Our IPv6 IP is fe80::20f:feff:fe10:ece0/64
Hostname is hp-compac.com

Can any one let me know, how to consturct reverse lookup file with these settings.

Thank you in advance.

Using link addresses is highly inadvisable, but.. The PTR records use all the digits of the IPv6 address dotted together. For your address [fe80::20f:feff:fe10:ece0], the line would look like this:

With that said, you should get a /64 or /48 from a tunnel broker such as Freenet6. They do UDP tunnels now too, which should pierce through most firewalls.

Thank you for your response, but still we are unsuccessfull

Our zone file is
----------------------------------------------------------
$TTL 86400

named.conf file is having following entries...

};

while checking with DIG command ( dig -x fe80::20f:feff:fe10:ece0) we are getting following out put.
