I've never used the faith driver before, so I don't know how it works. Are you looking to have a DNS server that speaks IPv6 or IPv4? Will this DNS service reside on your local machine, or on another machine on the network? One more thing...do you need this to be an authoritative name server, or simply a caching name server? I'm in the process today of implementing an IPv6 only DNS server, so depending on what you are trying to achieve, I may be able to help either way. Regards, Steve
