bind9 and ipv6 addresses

[dman <dman@dman.ddts.net>]

I tried adding this to my local bind zone :

@       IN      AAAA    ::1
@       IN      A6      ::1

when I reloaded the zones, however, this was in the logfile :

named[32616]: dns_rdata_fromtext: /etc/bind/db.local:15: near '::1': unexpected token

Does bind9 (in woody) understand IPv6 addresses?  Do I need to do
something special to make it serve these addresses?


On a more positive note, I just realized that my exim4 build (not yet
packaged for debian) didn't understand v6 addresses.  I looked in the
exim docs and found that I needed HAVE_IPV6=yes in my Makefile.  I set
it and it worked like a charm!  I didn't need to specify any extra
includes or libs.  That was a pleasant experience :-).

TIA,

PS.  hehe, look what sig my random chooser gave us
