Hm, I'm not sure I agree with either of these: While there are factors that make reverse mapping harder to maintain in IPv6 than in IPv4 (address auto-configuration), there are also points that make it easier. In particular, address space is almost always delegated at inverse-DNS-friendlier boundaries. While there are factors that make reverse mapping less useful for IPv6 than for IPv4 (address auto-configuration), there are also points that make it more useful. In particular, IPv6 addresses are harder to read and remember than IPv4 addresses, therefore the added convenience of mapping to hostnames is higher. -- Simon. . dnsop resources:_____________________________________________________ web user interface: http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~llynch/dnsop.html mhonarc archive: http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~llynch/dnsop/index.html
