The background for doing so is that I cannot control the reverse DNS for the IP addresses inside 200a:db8:1::/64 in a lot of my setups (for example, if my IPv6 comes in via Sixxs). Is this going to work in a clean way? Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
