Seems it is that or not bothering with reverse anymore.
It seems we're putting an awful lot of trust in the user when doing this.. I'd rather see some sort of macro expansion in bind/tinydns/etc that would allow a range of addresses to be added.
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... :-). Slightly more seriously, there have been discussions in the past about doing dynamic synthesis of v6 reverses, but that gets icky (particularly if you invoke the dreaded "DNSSEC" curse) and I don't know any production server that actually does this now. Dynamic DNS is probably the least offensive solution if you really want reverses for your v6 nodes. Regards, -drc
