Is anyone else using gogo6 with reverse dns? I've set dns_server in my config file but it's not being delegated. My prefix is 2001:388:e000:700::/56, but the dns resolution stops beyond 2001:388:e000:: (e.8.8.3.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa), which resolves to ns[123].aarnet.net.au:
nslookup -q=ns e.8.8.3.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa Server: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Non-authoritative answer: e.8.8.3.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa nameserver = ns1.aarnet.net.au. e.8.8.3.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa nameserver = ns3.aarnet.net.au. e.8.8.3.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa nameserver = ns2.aarnet.net.au. anything beyond that is NXDOMAIN. I'm pretty sure the problem is not my end, but is anyone else doing this? Are there any other options for tunnels these days? My ISP keeps telling me that IPv6 is coming, but that's been the case for a while. Thanks James

I don't think I ever managed to get this to work with Aarnet's tunnel broker.

What are your requirements? If you don't mind a non-local tunnel endpoint then I recommend http://tunnelbroker.net/ (you can choose from various endpoint locations and I haven't looked at the list for a while). Another worth investigating is http://www.gogo6.com/ Or you could use Internode as your ISP and received native IPv6 from them - no tunnel involved. That's why I only use tunnels when out with a laptop on an IPv4-only netowrk. Reverse DNS delegation works well via Internode for both v4 and v6.

I use them for my US based VPSs, where the tunnel endpoint is relatively close to my servers. For Australian hosts, the RTT starts to add up.

They have a PoP (tunnel endpoint) in Sydney, so useful for Australian hosts. They also delegate reverse DNS, and I have had it working in the past.

I have used Internode native IPv6 since March 2011. It "just works", same for reverse delegation, which Internode added some time after when I went native. 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com

I should have checked this first http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IPv6_tunnel_brokers which lists aarnet as not supporting rdns. James

Vote with your wallet. Internode have had native IPv6 for years now and it’s not going away any time soon.
