Hello everybody!

with help of https://internet.nl/site/fido.unen.net/3038781/ i found out that none of my nameservers supported ipv6 so i added ipv6 AAAA records for the nameservers and updated the glue records and now it's better.

So does a recursive DNS query fallback into ipv4 if none of the nameservers for a domain have an ipv6 address? Because people could still find my ipv6 AAAA record on my ipv4-only nameservers...

Just curious,
Regards,
Floris

Great!

So what do http://test-ipv6.com and https://ipv6-test.com say?

Don't confuse the accesability with the content of name servers. Most name servers that are accesible by IPv4 only do respond with an AAAA record when that is present for the requested host.

But of course we should all prepare to function in an IPv6 only environment, so the use of name servers that are accesable via IPv6 is much preferred.

Its great to see progress on enabling IPv6 for your nameservers, Floris! Adding AAAA records and updating the glue records is a smart move to enhance IPv6 compatibility.

Regarding your question on IPv6 fallback behavior: If a DNS client (resolver) attempts to resolve a domain over IPv6 and finds that none of the authoritative nameservers for that domain have an IPv6 address, it will indeed fall back to IPv4, provided the client has IPv4 connectivity and the domains nameservers are reachable over IPv4. This fallback ensures accessibility for IPv4-only or mixed IPv4/IPv6 environments but doesnt fully support the vision of an IPv6-only future.

As MV pointed out, preparing for an IPv6-only environment is crucial. While many current nameservers still offer AAAA records over IPv4, native IPv6 access for your nameservers ensures seamless support as networks continue moving towards IPv6-exclusive setups. Additionally, by having both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity, you improve redundancy and are better positioned to handle requests from diverse client networks.

Using sites like http://test-ipv6.com and https://ipv6-test.com is a fantastic way to confirm full IPv6 functionality. These tools not only check your IPv6 reachability but also evaluate DNS resolution to verify whether queries return IPv6 addresses where available. Its worth checking them out post-configuration to verify everything is set up correctly.

Nice work on pushing IPv6 adoption forward!

Thanks for you elaborate response.

From your response I presume that you yourself have IPv6 capability. I can not test if your node answers on IPv6, you are not (yet) in the nodelist, so I do not haven your contact data. If you publish your connect info here, I can try to make an IPv6 connection with your system and if hat succeeds, I will enter you in the list of IPv6 nodes as a prospective member of the Fiodonet IPv6 club.

Hallo again Michael, yes, I'm coming back to fido after 30 years and indeed my provider assigned me a half-ass /64, which they consider is more than enough for a home user, so I had to decide what I wanetd to have IPv6 connectivity for my home lab or my house, so the LAB won.

With regards to your question, yes I'm on bbs.skynetbbs.com which points to 2800:e2:5480:60::20, I think I created the AAAA on my DNS control panel, so if you poll it should let you in, word of caution my BBS is still very stock but that's because I've found it difficult to modify Mystic default theme and menus.

I'll try to be active on this area because I'm an IPv6 advocate and very pasionate about it, in fact I teach IPv6 classes for "living".

Are you sure you can't get more than just a /64? If not, for me that would be a reason to take my bussines elsewhere...

That was my mistake and you're completely right, I said ::20, it's still using the old IP, I'll change it and you can test a bit later and it'll indeed responde.

Scroogy?, huh.... oh God, don't get me started on this a-holes, provides *guess* billions of IPs on the same network block are better than good around here, /48 would be --according to the-- for enterprise customers so I will try to have them assign a /48 because I also tried getting my *roaming* IPv6 /48 from LACNIC, my RIR but USD$1,200/yr for hobby is kinda dealbreaker

Are you sure you can't get more than just a /64? If not, for me that would be a reason to take my bussines elsewhere...

Yup, trust me, been there, done that, but that unfortunately is the only one that you can get to do bridge mode on the CPE for IPv4, we're way behind down here in South America (except Brazil) when it comes to v6, as I said I throw hate everytime I can to those grumpy old-men with their brains stuck on IPv4 and the /30 and v4 VLSM practices migrated to IPv6.

The otehr issue I do not want to rn n into is using Tunnelbroker, it's slow because of it's 6to4 tunnel nature, but it's an alternative, I do like HE, but being a VPN and its inherent drawbacks drives me away.

1) You forgot to update the AAAA record for bbs.skynetbbs.com.

I did indeed, that plus I use a shitty provider namecheap, but it's updated now.

2) It looks like you also forgot to restart Mystic as it is not
answereing at all on any IP.

I also had to disable SLAAC from My Mikrotik edge so did not get
EUI-64.

OK.

Cheers, Michiel

Yup, but I just changed the IPv6 to match my (local) ipv4, so
it's now
::20, give it a go and it should also reply.

Hmmm... That didn't work...

Hello David,

Are you sure you can't get more than just a /64? If not, for me
that would be a reason to take my bussines elsewhere...

Yup, trust me, been there, done that, but that unfortunately is the
only one that you can get to do bridge mode on the CPE for IPv4,

What type of fysical connection do you have? DSL over 600 Ohm 2 wire? DOCSIS over coax? Opical over glasfiber?

I am in the fortunate position to have a choice between the three. Although DSL is no longer interesting compared to coax or fiberglass.

we're way behind down here in South America (except Brazil) when it
comes to v6, as I said I throw hate everytime I can to those grumpy old-men with their brains stuck on IPv4 and the /30 and v4 VLSM
practices migrated to IPv6.

There are only two IPv6 capable Fidonet nodes in Z4. The first is your ZC elect Fernando Toledo. You are the second.

The otehr issue I do not want to rn n into is using Tunnelbroker, it's slow because of it's 6to4 tunnel nature, but it's an alternative, I do like HE, but being a VPN and its inherent drawbacks drives me away.

He.net has been providing a fantatic service to the IPv6 community. I have had an he.net tunnel for many years. When I finally got native IPv6 in 2016 I did not need them any more. But I am still gratefull for here fantastic service. They even managed to get the "sage T-shirt" delivered exactly on the day of my 70th birthday!

Providers here are weird, Mine is called Tigo and it's DOCSIS HFC but they do alow IPv4 bridge mode, Claro (big bad monster), DOCSIS too and also offer IOPv6 but meh, etb fiber but no IPv6, so here in my country we're way behind and those big companies give balls about customers and their needs. I'm even afraid of asking becaus eit frusrates and angers me even more.

I am in the fortunate position to have a choice between the three. Although DSL is no longer interesting compared to coax or fiberglass.

I am let's say only coax with two providers becaus eI'm on an apartment complex and tehes a layer of let's say *corruption* where a single (big) provider pays the administration of teh building to keep other providers out.

Yup, I link to Fernando for my newly (restored) node and I was not foing to be IPv4 only node, so I gave it a go and here we are. Like I said, I love IPv4 and that's one of the topics that I'm pasionate about teaching and researching.

Lovely, I got one of those myself but I lost it, that was my first real approach to v6, I fidled with OpenWRT, dd-wrty all of that until I landed my first Mikrotik and then I just fell inlove with those devices and what tehy could do.
