FYI.

This draft is a work item of the IPNG Working Group of the IETF. Title : DNS Extensions to Support IP Version 6 Author(s) : M. Crawford, C. Huitema, S. Thomson Filename : draft-ietf-ipngwg-dns-lookups-02.txt Pages : 15 Date : 15-Sep-98 This document defines the changes that need to be made to the Domain Name System to support hosts running IP version 6 (IPv6). The changes include a new resource record type to store an IPv6 address in a manner which expedites network renumbering, and updated definitions of existing query types that return Internet addresses as part of additional section processing. For lookups keyed on IPv6 addresses (often called reverse lookups), this document defines a new domain to hold the top-level delegation information and a zone structure which allows a zone to be used without modification for parallel copies of an address space (as for a multihomed provider or site) and across network renumbering events.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipngwg-dns-lookups-02.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
