Hello Group,

My zone file has two records, '::1' and '::2' where I am able to resolve '::2' but not '::1'. Please refer to the configuration snippet below.

OS: Debian Lenny
software: bind-9.6.1-P1
zone configuration:

;
$TTL 86400
$ORIGIN 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa.
@ IN SOA apple.yakiringo.jp. hostmaster.yakiringo.jp. (

2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 IN PTR localhost2.

yuguri@apple:~$ host ::2
2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa domain name pointer localhost2.

yuguri@apple:~$ host ::1
1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa has no PTR record

Any idea why 'host ::1' is returning 'has no PTR record' and 'host ::2' works just fine?

Regards,
Yuguri
