Hi Guy's,
I keep getting "Failed to get AAAA from MX or your DOMAIN" when I do the test =(.
I'm using Bind as my DNS server.
my added zone:
zone "2.4.7.a.0.8.8.2.8.a.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/2.4.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.7.7.0.a.0.8.8.2.8.a.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa";
The zone file:
$TTL 1;
@ IN SOA ns.jente.vlan77.be. root.jente.vlan77.be. (
2011121101 ;serial
300 ;refresh
300 ;retry
300 ;expire
300) ;negative cache TTL
@ IN NS ns.jente.vlan77.be.
;42 PTR ns.jente.vlan77.be.
;62 PTR ns.jente.vlan77.be.
1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.2.2.7.a.0.8.8.2.8.a.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. IN PTR jente.vlan77.be.
My other 'normal' zone file:
$TTL 1
@ IN SOA ns.jente.vlan77.be. root.jente.vlan77.be. (
2011121101 ; Serial
300

;
@ NS ns

ns AAAA 2001:6a8:2880:a742::1
@ NS ns.vlan77.be.
;vlan77.be. A 193.191.187.62
@ A 193.191.187.42

@ MX 10 mx.jente.vlan77.be.

mx.jente.vlan77.be. AAAA 2001:6a8:2880:a742::1
* CNAME jente.vlan77.be.
What am I doing wrong :/ ?
Everything looks OK on my end...how long have you waited?
I get responses when I query for AAAA records for your NS and MX, although neither of them have working reverse lookups
well, I've waited like 'Not long' :p.
How long do I need to wait, approximately?
EDIT:
Got it, changed the last line in my zone file to:
1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 IN PTR jente.vlan77.be.
You're mixing FQDNs with labels within the zone for both your forward and reverse zones. The BCP RFCs state this is discouraged and often leads to errors. Clean up the mess you created and you might find that part of your problem goes away.
You also have a problem with your mail server name:
mx.jente.vlan77.be. (AAAA)=> 2001:6a8:2880:a742::1 (PTR)=> jente.vlan77.be.
You didn't get back what you started with. That's why you fail.
Also:
1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.2.2.7.a.0.8.8.2.8.a.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.
1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.2.4.7.a.0.8.8.2.8.a.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.
If you weren't insisting on FQDNs, you would not have made this mistake.
