Nicely done! I forgot about Radvd.

In reply to bennettp123. Thanks for the suggestion! The addresses I used were not my real addresses, but using the standard documentation prefix is definitely better.

Nice guide! One correction: you should use the 2001:db8::/32 prefix in your examples, instead of what appears to be your real prefix. :) More info here.

In reply to Rover.

DHCPd6 by itself will not hand out routing and gateway information, you will need RADVD to accomplish that… It has been a while since I looked in to this however, and it may be possible in a newer version of DHCPd6.

Also, the various conf files listed in this article should get you started with the BIND zone files…

Hope that helps!

Hi thanks for the post, two questions though:

1) do I need to run radvd and dhcp at the same time for ipv6 ddns, surely dhcp can do the job of handing out addresses to clients.?
2) could you show an example of your zonfiles for bind (forward and reverse)?
