I was talking about resolving the .ipv6-literal.net names via DNS.
Such as "fe80--219-99ff-feae-73ce.ipv6-literal.net"
What do you think that output is - the PTR is resolved to "localhost."
I find *host* easier to use, script, and more tersely informative than the other
bind DNS utilities: the bind-utils Cygwin package contains DNS utilities:
delv
dig
host
mdig
named-rrchecker
nslookup
nsupdate
and the lookups support most of the same arguments and options, with different
names and defaults: host defaults to -t A -t AAAA -t MX, but host and nslookup
only accept a single type, while dig accepts -t ANY; delv and mdig will do deep
dives for DNSSEC and DNS; while named-rrchecker validates DNS RR inputs.
