IPv6 DNS Delegation
- 22/11/2021 2:15 PM
We offer support for IPv6 DNS Delegation, especially useful for those who wish to setup and manage their own PTR records for the /56 range we provide with broadband circuits. In order to setup IPv6 DNS Delegation, please create a support ticket via our online Create Ticket option. Please allow up to 24 hours for this process to be completed, including the TTL period.
We offer support for IPv6 delegation from a couple of methods, which are as follows:
Nameserver (NS) Support
Delegation directly to nameservers is the tried and tested traditional way. When sending a ticket request, simply provide us with details of the Nameserver (NS) you would like us to point your IPv6 assignment to and we will make the delegated adjustment for you.
DNAME Support
DNAME stands for "Delegation Name" and is a lesser-known yet highly useful resource record within the DNS infrastructure. Unlike traditional records such as A (Address) or CNAME (Canonical Name), which resolve individual hostnames, the DNAME record operates at a broader scale, simplifying domain name redirection and aliasing.
We have started to introduce DNAME support to some of our products. When sending a ticket request, simply provide us with details of your DNAME DNS record you would like us to point your IPv6 assignment to.
