Hello!

I have been run into an issue.

The problem:
I have setup a new server with IPv6 and I want to redirect from my sub-domain (example: dev.mydomain.com) to this new server. This part is clear how to do, but how can add IPv6 to an A record in DirectAdmin?

Main server where DirectAdmin is running is using IPv4 only.

Can someone tell me how to add IPv6 to "A" record in DirectAdmin server what is running only with IPv4?

Thank you!
 
Looks like my server already support IPv6 and all dns_*.conf files are setup correctly with this option: |*if IS_IPV6!="yes"|


The message i get when i add an A record:

Cannot Add Record

Details

The value must be an IP address

but i have an valid IPv6!
 
An A-record is IPv4 and an AAAA-record is IPv6, so use an AAAA-record instead of A-record.
 
What can be the problem, that subdomain is not resolving on IPv6, but it`s available by subdomain by IPv6.

How it works: I have VPS server where i have added one IPv6 and one IPv4 address.
I have also created two subdomains for testing the IP`s.
Works only with IPv4.

Any suggestions?
 
And make sure (check the logs) the IPv6 address is properly being routed onto the server.
