There are sites now that don't allow you to send them email
over IPv6 unless there is a valid reverse lookup. This
will not change.
Is it really that hard to automate the "delegation" of
reverse namespace? Even for sites that get a new prefix
each time they connect to the network it should be no
more work that adding a DNAME. For relatively static
networks the traditional NS delegations will work.
We have the technology to do this now in a authenticated manner.
Isn't it about time we allowed home networks to become first
class citizens? Lot's of the problems we see on the network
today are caused be treating home networks as second class
citizens.
* Having to use a bogus domain name internally.
* Forcing home networks to use RFC 1918 address space.
I would like to see ISP's offer both forward and reverse
(dynamic?) DNS services for home customers. To supply
a forward domain for home customers that don't need a
fancy name. e.g. <custname>.customer.<isp'sname>
The above DNAME would become something like the following
for the typical home customer.
1.2.3.4.1.2.3.4.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa DNAME
ip6.<custname>.customer.<isp'sname>
