I guess I don't *need* IPv6, but as a technology geek it's just something I wanted to play around with. I've set up a tunnel with Hurricane Electric that gets me a fully routable IPv6 prefix that I can assign an address from to each of the devices on my LAN.
If you have got your own IPv6 /48 combined with RFC1918 IPv4 then split horizon DNS is probably a good idea;

I do use a 192.168/16 for my local IPv4 addressing, but given that moving forward IPv6 is likely to become more and more available, I thought it worth having a play with. I can now (if I want) allow IPv6 access to every device on my internal network without having to worry about NAT and port forwarding to get connections through my firewall. Thanks for the pointer to tinydns, I'll take a look.
AFAIK Bind is the only named with a good split horizon implementation. Regards, Rob
