Re: IPv6 rDNS - how will it be done?

Hi! In some internal DNS applications, I've missed the so useful pipe feature of the sendmail alias (user: | /script), I mean, being able to forward a DNS request to a script that returns the resolution response. Maybe something similar would be useful in this IPv6 rDNS scenario too. Does anyone of you know if there's any chance to direct a zone to a script instead of to a file?

Hmm. A macro expansion for a /48 would mean 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 leaves. An interesting stress test for name servers... :-).
My inclination would be to use a wildcard that returns something like not-in-service.some-network.net, and let the clients add records for the addresses they use. For spoof resistance, how about doing a forward lookup on the purported name and only installing it if it gets a matching AAAA record? R's, John
