17 segments?? Well... There are a few..
After thinking about it, I am only going to setup 2 or 3. Just wanted to work with more than 1. I figure if I want to do them all, I can perform that later.
multiple /64s. Yes. I actually with the distribution of IPv6 number were a lot less numbers for nodes. I feel with the amount of wasted numbers that are being given out, we will at some point see the same problem with IPv4 and the is we will run out of numbers. Yes. I know the 340 Undececillion is a crazy large number, but, with millions of IP addresses given out at a shot so some person like me who wants to play, it's crazy. A million her a billion there. It all adds up. Anyway.. (theory of mine)
I don't claim any glory for being hacked. I also know companies get hacked all the time. I just don't think the average home user has it happen to them because the average user has 1 segment, a couple of pcs and each workstation has firewall software and a hardware firewall. Most ISPs don't allow ftp/http/smtp to occur. I was an admin many years ago and I never saw this. I was pretty much a server guy with Novell, Windows NT 3.5 and Windows 4.0. No hackers tried to get into our network as per the NOC I talked to on a daily basis. Funny though, I had more processing power back then, more back capacity, and a faster network the the 2 billion dollar company I worked for. Go figure. I use to run a Bulletin Board with a bunch of workstations. That's how I got into it. I use to own a 100 user license of Novell to support my Bulletin Board. (OK> ) Don't get me started...
LOL..
Consolidation. I was referring to consolidation zone information in a .db file. Can I consolidate
segments (example) 10.10.0.0 with 10.10.40.0 with 10.10.100.0 in one zone file and not have to break the segments out per zone file. I have only seen sample files and read the Bind9 docs which reference 1 segment. (I don't like docs that don't give examples of real world situations, always an single sided example and not a companies example)
As for the IPv6 zone information, It is not possible to insert A record for a nameserver and
underneath that line insert an AAAA record for the same system without having to create a seperate
AAAA zone record?
If not, I take it that also means I need a seperate Reverse zone file to boot..
Thanks
