I may need to update the DNS again for IPv6 support. So we may go down again for a bit later.

Oh, you've dropped a link-local (fe80) address into the public record. A mistake? That will do no harm, but everything will ignore it because it's not globally routable.

Have no idea what that means :)

I just added a AAAA record for the IPv6 .. I think..

Apparently I am supposed to remove the v4 one... But I have a feeling everything will break if I do.

Link-local is an address range which only operates on the local ethernet/wifi link; it won't be routed anywhere else. IPv6 network configs alway show the link-local address to you. But because it's locally scoped, it can't be used over the internet to reach your network from mine.

So it's redundant in that AAAA record; clients will get the record and immediately ignore it because they can't use it. They'll always select the A record instead.

If your host has another IPv6 address (it'll start with a 2), then that's your public one. Happy to test it before DNS changes, if you like. If your host doesn't have that, then it's not been configured with public v6.
Apparently I am supposed to remove the v4 one... But I have a feeling everything will break if I do.
If you do that right now, nobody will reach you. If you set up public v6 then remove the A record, you might lose 60% of your users :)

Assuming linux or closely related, "ip addr list" or "ifconfig', will list inet6 addresses.

Yup, that responds with exxosforum content.

Code: Select all

$ curl -H "Host: exxosforum.co.uk" http://[2a00:d880:11::243]

<title>EXXOS FORUM</title>

Change your existing AAAA to remove the fe80 address, replace it with the 2a00 address, and I reckon you're done.

Not happy still for some reason.

This was trying to send a email to @IngoQ and also had the same problem with @terriblefire Though when I had the previous number in IPv6, @terriblefire emai seemed to then work :shrug:

https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx still reports the wrong number :roll:

The notifications worked, I guess they did a fallback to IPv4?

But the AAAA-Record is still unchanged, even if you query your hosters DNS directly:

host exxosforum.co.uk ns44.domaincontrol.com
Using domain server:
Name: ns44.domaincontrol.com
Address: 173.201.69.22#53
Aliases: 

exxosforum.co.uk has address 185.52.2.172
exxosforum.co.uk has IPv6 address fe80::f816:3eff:fe20:5ec0
exxosforum.co.uk mail is handled by 31 exxosforum.co.uk.

Ah, mail. You do have a PTR record set up for that v6 address

Code: Select all

$ dig -x 2a00:d880:11::243 +short
exxosforum.co.uk.
But the page that google links to suggests they use other signals. I haven't gone digging further.

If v6 is a headache that you want to avoid for mail, you could consider putting mail on its own subdomain without any AAAA records. That pains my ipv6 heart, but I also hate doing mail ops.

I think your authoritative is still issuing the fe80 address. So either their revision control is extremely slow, or it didn't take when you tried to change it.

For some reason it had reverted back to the previous old number :shrug:

I deleted it out and put it back in again and now I think it is okay ?
