I'm using a web server that uploads its DNS entries to a TinyDNS server for name resolution. I'd like to be able to put in some AAAA records, but I've no idea what format TinyDNS is expecting them in - the field delimiter is : so I have a feeling that putting in something like ::1 would cause it not to work.

I'm assuming the IPv6 support is from www.fefe.de/dns. Anyone know what that takes?

  • You need to figure out if you're patched or not. Then the solution is easily found on the wider internet. – user9517 Feb 10 '17 at 21:41
  • The DNS is not running on my server, I just send TinyDNS files to another machine that I have no other access to. I've asked them what's running but no response yet. And if it is those patches, I've not been able to find any definitive information on what format they're looking for. – Iain Hallam Feb 10 '17 at 23:18
  • Have you tried with `[` `]` around the IP address? – kasperd Feb 10 '17 at 23:26

The format is the full 128 bits address in hex without any delimiter. For example for 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334 it's 20010db885a3000000008a2e03707334.

You can convert an address with http://ipv6-literal.com/ by taking the "IPv6 longest" and removing the separators.

Source: I added the record with the add-host6 script.
