Hi, thanks for your overview. There's one thing that I'm missing, which is really important: reverse delegation for the 3FFE space under ip6.arpa (while I'm not sure whether this is an "official ipv6-wg action item", it has been mentioned in the IPv6-WG and the LIR-WG, and has been stressed as being important to solve quickly). As far as I could find out, this has been delayed due to unnecessary political games between the RIRs, and I'm very sorry to hear that. Always remember: we want IPv6 to succeed. Playing games that lead to broken reverse resolving and to non-deployment of "official" reverse domains will *hurt* - it's already very messy, as many of the operating system vendors don't go to ip6.arpa, because it's considered broken. gert On Thu, Oct 31, 2002 at 06:26:11PM +0100, Andrei Robachevsky wrote:
Dear Colleagues,
Please find below a report regarding the status of the action point from the RIPE 43 ipv6-wg meeting.
Regards,
Andrei Robachevsky RIPE NCC
E. IPv6 capable RR DNS servers ==============================
RIPE NCC will provide IPv6 access to the ns.ripe.net by the end of November.
D. Action point 42.1: ===================== Investigate the CNAME and other solutions for v6-reverse delegation.
This action point came up from the request for support a smooth transition from ip6.int to ip6.arpa. To be done in consistent manner this is being coordinated with other RIRs. Also a technical discussion is planned at the IETF-55 in November. We'll let the community know about the outcome of these discussions.
F. Action point 42.2: ===================== Give an overview of 6-to-4 reverse delegation issues
This issue requires coordination between the RIRs and is being discussed. More information can be available after the IETF-55 meeting in November.
