IPv6 Administration Guide

How to Add IPv6 Addresses to DNS

  1. Become superuser on the primary or secondary DNS server for your IPv6 network.

  2. Edit the appropriate DNS zone file by adding AAAA records for each IPv6–enabled host, as follows.


    host-name  IN   AAAA 	host-address

  3. Edit the DNS reverse zone file and add PTR records, using the following format.


    host-address IN   PTR   host-name

For detailed information on DNS administration, refer to “DNS Administration (Reference)” in System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP).
