[AusNOG] IPv6: The mail problem to AusNog - found the fault, but how to fix.

[Tom Storey]

In case you care about being able to read your records on a single line,
instead of including the entire IPv6 address with every entry you create,
you can take something like:

1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.
 IN    PTR    host1.example.com.
2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.
 IN    PTR    host2.example.com.

and turn it in to something like:

$ORIGIN 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.
1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0    IN    PTR    host1.example.com.
2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0    IN    PTR    host2.example.com.

to "group" all IPs from the 2001:db8::/64 subnet together.

DRY principal. :-)
