Why do you think it is not supported at all?
(1) Because I do not have a clue how an A6 could look like (2) $ cd /usr/share/doc/packages/bind/; $ grep -rA5 '\bA6\b' . /CHANGES:1402 A6 has been moved to experimental and is no longer fully supported. /arm/Bv9ARM.ch04.html: The use of A6 records is deprecated by RFC 3363, and the support for forward lookups in <span class="acronym">BIND</span> 9 is removed accordingly.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=224485 ------- Comment #3 from jengelh@gmx.de 2006-11-29 07:40 MST ------- (1) an A6 would probably be as simple as "A6 ::1", but which is refused, and "AAAA ::1" is allowed, strange enough. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

If there is used term A6, it does not mean the old A6 RR style. Because it is misleading, I will remove all "A6" from the text. Old A6 RR style is still supported but not recommended. You are right that support for forward lookups was removed since BIND9, but everything else works. If you need examples, there are in rfc2874 (http://www.simpledns.com/rfc/rfc2874.txt). Because old A6 records are not recommended, I think it is not good idea to mension it in the guide. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=224485 ------- Comment #5 from jengelh@gmx.de 2006-12-01 02:32 MST ------- That's what I meant in bug #63609 comment #0. BIND: A6 is deprecated and AAAA is new. adminguide (bug #63609): adminguide says AAAA is deprecated and A6 should be used. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
