DynDNS Update - IPv6 Problem

Dear Samba team,

 

I have a little remark regarding the script dhcp-dyndns.sh which is
published here:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configure_DHCP_to_update_DNS_records 

 

Having at least one IPv6 Reverse zone, case 4 (# should never happen) in
rev_zone_info() will be selected. Hence, the PRT record will not be updated.
My ‘solution’ is sort out the IPv6 reverse zones by Changing the line below
“# get existing reverse zones (if any)”

 

ReverseZones_unfiltered=$($SAMBATOOL dns zonelist "${Server}" "$KTYPE"
--reverse | grep 'pszZoneName' | awk '{print $NF}')

ReverseZones=

for revzone in $ReverseZones_unfiltered

do

# Check if the string contains "ip6"

if [[ $revzone != *ip6* ]]; then

     # Append the string to the filtered list variable

     ReverseZones+="$revzone"$'\n'

fi

done

 

Is there a better solution or way how to handle IPv6 and updating the DNS?

 

 

 

Best regards!

Felix Müller
