Hi,
Hello,
There's no need for the RIRs to actually do anything, besides give up the blockade position "the 6bone is not a RIR and per the RFC, only RIRs can do reverse delegation under ip6.arpa". Have IANA delegate e.f.f.3.ip6.arpa to the same set of servers as e.f.f.3.ip6.int (as per Bill Manning's request that was denied due to RIR disapproval), and be done with it.
We are looking for a pragmatic solution to this technical problem. This will be discussed with the other RIRs in the course of the next week and at IETF. We expect to have a solution in place by the end of November.
since it's Nov 30 today, I would like to ask about progress in this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Following the request from the community we investigated possibilities to provide a pragmatic technical solution for reverse DNS delegation under ip6.arpa, for the space allocated for 6bone purposes (3ffe). It was understood that the request was to provide a solution before a final decision is made on the future management of the 3ffe address space. This issue was discussed between the RIRs at the IETF-55 meeting. As a result the RIRs have forwarded the request to place the 3ffe space in the ip6.arpa zone to the IAB, seeing that it would be an action that is contrary to RFC 3152. If the request is honoured we will be able to present a proposal for your review. Best regards, Andrei Robachevsky CTO, RIPE NCC
