now if the IETF & the RIRs could just get rid of all that deployed resolver code that looks for ip6.int by fiat.
actually, i think it was kazu yamamoto who just gave a good analysis of why this is really not going to cause significant issues.
The numbers of such external queries at our name server is already quite small relative to ip6.arpa: % zgrep -ich "external:.*\.ip6\.int.*PTR" /var/log/bind9-query.log* 0 2 4 5 % zgrep -ich "external:.*\.ip6\.arpa.*PTR" /var/log/bind9-query.log* 83 223 206 206 Looks like it may not be more then a few of percent. I guess there may be some clients that are fall back to ip6.int if a response is not forthcomming from ip6.arpa. David.
