The backend isn't currently set up to do rDNS for IPv6 addresses but could be modified without much work (I think a stored procedure would need a small change). Forward IPv6 works already without any modification, e.g., in my development environment: mgrice@detonate:~$ dig @xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx testv6.testtesttest.plus.com aaaa ; <> DiG 9.3.4 <> @xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx testv6.testtesttest.plus.com aaaa ; (1 server found) ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 31448 ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;testv6.testtesttest.plus.com.

Hi there,

The software itself supports IPv6 just fine. The backend isn't currently set up to do rDNS for IPv6 addresses but could be modified without much work (I think a stored procedure would need a small change). Forward IPv6 works already without any modification, e.g., in my development environment:

mgrice@detonate:~$ dig @xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx testv6.testtesttest.plus.com aaaa
