IPv6

I've got everything listening on ipv6 now: exim/dovecot/bind/apache/proftpd, and it all seems to be working fine (so far).

But the only one missing is directadmin itself. Is (or when will) it possible to have DA running on ipv6 as well?
 
Hello,

The internal DirectAdmin socket code only supports IPv4 at this time. I'll have to go back to my c books to read up on IPv6 in order to add support for it with DA itself. I don't think there are a huge amount of changes to do, but I'm fairly sure that they've got to be 100% correct ;) Testing becomes more difficult since our ISPs over here don't yet support IPv6. All I'll be able to do is check netstat to see if DA has bound to the IPv6 address, which in theory should be enough before throwing it out for testing.

I'm sure there are several ISPs that use your product would be willing to offer you a dedicated server with ipv6 support -- free of charge of course. (Well, at least I would, lol).
 
How do you test using that link? It returns an A record when I try it. It's nameservers return both A and AAAA records.

Are you writing that the nameservers will always return an AAAA record if my ISP supports IPv6, and never return the A record?

1)You register
2)You install their app
3)You connect to their network using their app and they give you an IPv6 address that you can use to connect to the V6 services of Google, Facebook and your servers.

I will help arrange V6 testbed.
 
I am aching to get running with IPv6.. when will DA have the ability to add IPv6 IP's into it and have it auto configure all the services?
 
Hello,

There a few bugs with the current system. We're working to resolve them. Each release of DA has more compatibility added in. Supporting IPv6 within the DA binaries (on port 2222) will come after this bugs are resolved.

I can deal with DA not being accessible via v6 for now, but apache/exim etc I want now..
 
Not really, but for ProFTPd compile with --enable-ipv6. There is nothing special to do for Apache, Exim or Dovecot if you use the standard DA setup.
