Limitations
The following lists the limitations in BIND 9.2.0:
• Specific IPv6 addresses cannot be specified with the listen-on-v6 option.
• The rndc dump.db command dumps only the cache information. You can run
dig axfr <domain> command to obtain the db file information.
• In IPv6 systems, the notify directive in the Options statement in
named.conf will be successful only if there is an IPv4-mapped-IPv6 address
in the masters clause of the slave zone.
• To set up forwarding nameservers, db.<prefix>.IP6.INT files need to be
created manually. Currently, db.<prefix>.IP6.INT files are not being
created. For example: for IPv6 address fe80::1/16, the db file
db.0.8.e.f.IP6.INT, should be created and named.conf should be
changed accordingly.
• In IPv6 systems, the ACLs may not produce desired results if an IPv4 address is
specified in the ACL entry.
An IPv4-mapped-IPv6 address needs to be specified instead of the IPv4 address
in the ACL entry as follows:
acl egacl { ::ffff:15.70.128.34:};
•In nslookup, the ‘ls’ command is used to list the information available for
domain, optionally creating or appending to filename. The output of this
command contains host names and their Internet addresses. The AAAA records
are not shown in this output.
• The “server” option in nslookup does not work for IPv6 addresses if the name
server specified in /etc/resolv.conf is an IPv4 server. This option will not
work for IPv4 addresses if the name server is specified in
/etc/resolv.conf is an IPv6 server.
• The command used to revert back to the previous version of BIND (i.e., 9.2.0),
“/usr/bin/enable_inet -r bind” must not be executed in the directory
“/usr/contrib/bind/save_custom/” or in any of its sub-directories.
