- How to specify IPv6 IP address in forwarders{} section in /etc/named.conf.
Ex)This is the DNS server's IPv6 IP address used for forwarders in this case as follows.
# ip -o a
2: ens3 inet6 fe80::3faf:2ab1:b0bf:b071/64 scope link tentative noprefixroute dadfailed \ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
This is a short-styled that IPv6 IP address specified in forwarders{} section in zone entry.
# cat /etc/named.conf
zone "redhat.com" IN {
type forward;
forward only;
forwarders { fe80::3;
};
};
With this forwarders setting, dig command fails with SEVERFAIL as follows.
# dig @fe80::3 test.redhat.com AAAA
