IPv6 name server

elgs

I have a few name servers for my dns system. Let's say they are ns1.example.com, ns2.example.com. Previously they all resolved to IPv4 addresses. Now I'm planning to implement IPv6 for my dns system. So should I reuse ns1, ns2 for IPv6 name servers? Or should I change them to something different to avoid conflict? Thanks.

Use the same.

there will be no confliction. you can use them as it is.

ns1.blabla.com 12.34.56.78

ns1.blabla.com 2a03:baba:b00b:dead:deaf:666

Thanks @Hidden_Refuge. If I use the same name, I got a problem when I set the glue records in my dns domain's registrar, Godaddy in my case. When I enter the same host name for IPv4 and IPv6 glue records, Godaddy says they don't allow duplicate host name for glue record.

IPv6 is AAAA instead of A. Should be no issue to have multiple records for one domain/sub domain. Just nslookup google.com and it has tons of As and AAAAs.

GoDaddy sucks.

This is your answer

I see. Thanks. So does the hostname for glue record have to be the same as the AAAA name?

teknolaiz

The domain is ns1.domain.com, record type is AAAA and the IP is the IPv6 of your server.

@elgs You can add multiple IP's for each host on GoDaddy's control panel.

Thank you so much!!! I will try again.

@VPSSoldiers it works now. It looks like I cannot edit another glue record to share the same name as an existing one. But I can add new IP addresses for the existing one. Thank you for reminding.
