Hi guys, I am trying to create an ipv6 reverse zone file an entire /32 v6 space. Does anyone have any idea how to name this correctly? From what I can see from the cpanel documentation the zone file needs to be the nibblet format of the ip address, but this means I would have to create a zone file for each ipv6 address as per format below. I would like to set up one zone file and add any / all records to that zone file, much like you would with ipv4 zones - any advise on this please? 9.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.2.5.7.g.g.0.d.2.ip6.arpa

  HI @Xtranetsa Have you checked out the documentation here: How to Configure Reverse DNS for BIND in WHM - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation The process itself isn't different - you just need to add the record in nibble format

  You only have to create the first two nibbles for a /32, so if you have 2D0G:G752::/32 then you can just create 2.5.7.g.g.0.d.2.ip6.arpa You would then have your individual PTRs be: 9.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 PTR domainname.com
