IPV6 Help
Hi,
Thanks first for the site, been using it for a year or so and has been really helpful.
I have a box with a few IPV6 IPs and I have a DNS provider where I can add AAAA records. On the VM the IPV6 addresses are configured like so:
iface venet0 inet6 manual
up ifconfig venet0 add 2001:1b50:4000:3::59e7:ac19/128
down ifconfig venet0 del 2001:1b50:4000:3::59e7:ac19/128
But as an IPV6 address is 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 then how do I transform what is in my network config to slap into the AAAA record in my DNS?
Cheers,
tictacs

This is the IP address : 2001:1b50:4000:3::59e7:ac19. You can use it as an AAAA record.
The /128 simply means that all the leading 128 bits are the host id portion of the address.
:: is basically :0000:0000: and
: is :0003:.
Thanks Ellimist - much appreciated
Will give it a try.
