      Hello Alex,              On Tuesday January 23 2018 15:48, you wrote to me:               AS>>>>> ipv6.dynamic.ziggo.nl [2001:1c02:1100:d700:f1d0:2:280:5555]        AS>>>>> but your ISP does not seem to assign proper reverse DNS for        AS>>>>> customers.        MvdV>>>> Indeed, that is a bit of a joke. Every IPv6 addres        MvdV>>>> (2001:1c02::/32) of my provider backresolves to        MvdV>>>> ipv6.dynamic.ziggo.nl.        AS>>> Is it dynamic or static?        MvdV>> Dynamic.               AS> So it is set automatically by ISP and changes every time you        AS> reconnect? Then how did you set it to f1d0-style?              No, they call it dynamic, because they do not guarantee that the /56 prefix       will never change. Since November 2017 it has only changed once. That was       after a three hour unscheduled power down. Short power interuptions do not       seem to cause a change.              Even so, all THEY set is the prefix. Within the /64, I can either use SLAAC or       configure it manually. The latter I did for the ::f1d0:2:280:5555 part.                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)    |
