I was just wondering, inspired by Saku Ytti's idea of making hack to bind which would allow proper PTR and AAAA records for rtadvd or similar autoconfigured hosts, as you can know hosts that are given are quite random, and far as I know there is no smart logic with them. So, somekinda hack for bind is needed. eg. bind could be modified to do PTR and AAAA with different system than zonefiles has, though zonefiles shouldn't be ignored but if query regarding autoconfigured subnet comes in it should be handled on its own system. For example: Foo asks reverse for address xyz, bind notices that it has subnet xy defined as autoconfig hosts and calculates reverse for it like, xyz IN PTR z-xy.auto.foo.tld. And then, another day, Bar asks AAAA record for z-xy.auto.foo.tld and bind notices that its under auto.foo.tld which was defined for autoconfigured hosts and subnet was xy, answer xyz is given. And if foo asks AAAA for foo.tld bind operates normally and gives possible answer from zonefile. If ISC guys are following these lists I would like to hear their comments. Anybody interested in developing this kind of modification? Ideas? Comments? Anybody? Greets Markus Kovero
