Hi all,
sorry for a dumb question from a beginner:
I have running my IPV6 tunnel for two weeks now. For my IPV4 server I have established a DynDNS account, therefore it is available by a logical name instead of IP address (which in addition is changing every 24 hours).
Is there something similar possible using SixXS? As I am not owner of the /48 domain, I cannot put an AAAA entry on my own - right?
One more question:
As I got assigned /48 network, could I build domain-names like
server1.myhome.com
server2.myhome.com
where myhome.com reflects my /48 network?
Thanks for any answer helping me.

At least the tunnel endpoint is named
gw-tunnelnumber.city-sequencenumber.tld.sixxs.net
As I am not owner of the /48 domain, I cannot put an AAAA entry on my own - right?
As a side-note: on the internet there is no such thing as 'ownership', one gets to borrow something for a while...
As for the /48 subnet, you have the possibility to configure <i>reverse</i> DNS servers for these. So that IPv6 address -> hostname conversion is possible.
For the <i>forward</i> lookup you will need your own (sub)domain, then you can give enter every host into it.
Thus eg:
server1.myhome.com AAAA 2001:db8:1234:100::42
server2.myhome.com AAAA 2001:db8:1234:100::66

Thanks for the answer.
Currently I am not interested in reverse DNS.
To assign my server to a rememberable name I need to find a native IPV6 provider, right?
Hmmmm, would like to have such as
server1.myname_abc.com (as I own myname_abc.com in IPV4 world)
or at least
server1.myname.sixxs.com (or similar)
So I might have to use services like tinyurl.com or similar to get away from the "unrememberable" 2001::... numbers.
Nevertheless thanks for the service you are providing. Great !!!
Best,

No. You need to have a (sub)domain where you can configure A (IPv4) or AAAA (IPv6) records in. Heck, effectively you could make microsoft.yourzone.com AAAA 2001:db8::1 and that 'works', that is the DNS record is there, it will not actually do anything useful though.
So I might have to use services like tinyurl.com or similar to get away from the "unrememberable" 2001::... numbers.
TinyURL is for 'converting' long URLs (hostname + path) into short ones.
What you need is a DNS provider, and there are zillions of those. Just google a bit, or if you want a good starting point: www.joker.com.

Hi,
as I cannot put AAAA entries at my provider, I found a free DNS provider that allowed me to forward subdomains.
I now have
server1.v6.mydomain.com
fully running :-) Great.
Thanks Wolfram
