[AusNOG] IPv6 rDNS Zone File

Fri Sep 19 14:35:07 EST 2014

Can you explain what you mean by trimming off excess 0's?  I've found it to
need exactly the right amount of 0's in the zone file, or nothing works..
Makes it interesting as you go from :000f to :0010 etc if you forget and
just add a digit etc ;)

I have to admit I've been changing $ORIGIN partways through the file as I
get to each /64 just to cut down on the amount of typing I have to do..
(But then I've always just used plain text files for my own stuff.. Now the
perl script we had sitting behind powerdns, running the rdns at PFN was a
work of art and saved so much time ;)

Cheers,

DG

 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
 and tore the world asunder
