======================== G. IPv6 RR DNS - is it ip6.int or ip6.arpa? Why? Documented where? ========================

The recommendation is to populate ip6.arpa and phase out ip6.int - but what is wanted and how shall we proceed?
?: Software currently relies on ip6.int - you can't just switch it off. ?: Can't we just duplicate the delegation-records? GD: A good solution would be a CNAME very high in the hierarchy
I don't think that you can do this with CNAME. A CNAME is only honoured when it's found where the RR of the original query (typically a PTR for a complete inverse IPv6 address in this case) is expected. I suppose you simply get a NXDOMAIN if there's a CNAME higher up in that branch. DNAME would work :-) -- Alex
