This document defines changes to the Domain Name System to support
renumberable and aggregatable IPv6 addressing.  The changes include
a new resource record type to store an IPv6 address in a manner
which expedites network renumbering and updated definitions of
existing query types that return Internet addresses as part of
additional section processing.
 
For lookups keyed on IPv6 addresses (often called reverse lookups),
this document defines a new zone structure which allows a zone to be
used without modification for parallel copies of an address space
(as for a multihomed provider or site) and across network
renumbering events.

This document is a product of the IPNG Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
