Automatically create IPv6 DNS records ?

Hello everybody.

Maybe I did it wrong, but shouldn't Virtualmin create IPv6 DNS records at the creation of the virtual server ? It successfully create IPv4 records, but the IPv6 ones are not created.

I'm using the last version of Virtualmin, and at the virtual server creation, I set up a shared IPv6 address for that server.

Do I forget something ?

Historically, Virtualmin didn't do shared IPv6 (because we're unlikely to ever run out of IPv6 IPs) but I think shared IP was added relatively recently to accomodate those oddbacl VPS providers that provide one IPv6 IP address (along with an IPv4 address), which is really weird...there's not much point in IPv6 if you can't have a lot of them.

But, I don't know exactly how IPv6 works now in Virtualmin. I'll have to poke around...

Looks like you just need to set Use default IPv6 address for new virtual servers? to "Yes" in Virtuamin configuration. Is that not working?

Yes it is activated. I have plenty of IPv6, but what I meant is, when I create a virtual server, it create the IPv4 records in Bind9, but not the AAAA. It would be nice if Virtualmin does it too. Did I miss something in the configuration for IPv6 records ?
