Last week I was setting up IPv6 on a network and was adding ipv6=2001:... entries in ndb as per the manpages. I lost the better part of a day trying to figure out why the AAAA records weren't being propagated to the DNS slaves. I finally figured out that ip= now handles both v4 and v6 syntax, but after reading through the ndb/dns sources it's not clear to me if ipv6= is still being used by anything. Is ipv6= truly dead? If it is I will eradicate it from the code and manpages and send in a patch. If it isn't, the manpages still need an update to make clear what it is -- and isn't -- for. --lyndon ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

I don't expect the ipv6 attribute to go away. I like the new (to me, anyway) ip= behaviour. parseip() and isv4() provide everything that's needed at the C level to distinguish the two. ndb/dns already does this right thing wrt A vs. AAAA. Are you thinking of it as an analog to proto=il, perhaps? Back to my original question: what currently uses the ipv6= tag? We need to update the man pages at least. --lyndon ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
