Note : View section is commented just for testing purpose. |
well it says in the log that it's an automatic default... is something actually wrong?

Thanks Chris! Though nothing is wrong i want to remove configuration related to IPv6 from my DNS server since i am not using any v6 IP numbers. |
i assume that RFC's and other standard dictate that they must be there for a tefchnically correctly dns server. you have no obligation to utilize them at all.
