A6-Records (IPv6 host address)
|
An A6-record is used to specify the IPv6 address (or part of the IPv6 address) for a host.
A6-records expands the functionality of AAAA-records by adding support for aggregation and renumbering.
A lookup for an IPv6 records could involve several A6-records which each specify only part of the final address.
This is achieved through the additional prefix-length and prefix name fields.
To create a new A6-record, right-click a zone in the left list in the DNS Records window, and select "Other new record" from the pop-up menu.
This record type is defined in RFC2874.
