Re: DNS support for IPv6

% Hi,
% 
% I'm just about to write a brief explanation about the RRs that need to be 
% added to the ones described in RFC 1034 / 1035, in order to add support for 
% IPv6.
% 
% I've read RFC 3363, and it recommends that RFC 1886 stay on standards track 
% and be advanced, and to move RFC 2874 to Experimental status.
% 
% Shall I make comments on AAAA records, and don't even mention A6 records?
% 
% About address mapping, RFC 3152 says IP6.ARPA should be used, instead IP6.INT.
% The same here: shall I omit the description of IP6.INT, or it is still 
% being used, and so, I should describe it?
% 
% TIA,
% Fernando Gont

	IMHO,

	your primary focus should be on AAAA and IP6.ARPA

	it is worth mentioning A6, since they still exist and
	can be used.

	IP6.INT is hardcoded into most resolvers shipped since 
	1998, while IP6.ARPA has only been placed into resolver
	code in the last year.  Until all that old code is 
	abandoned by the endusers, IP6.INT will continue to be
	queried for answers... :(

	Normal code takeup rates suggest that IP6.INT will need
	to be maintained for at least the next decade.
