[Asrg] For DNSBLs, embedded IPv4 in IPv6

2008-08-03 12:30:33
Someone pointed out that in some popular dual stack systems, connections from IPv4 addresses appear as IPv6 addresses in :FFFF:0000:0000/96, which I gather is reasonably consistent with v6 standards.

The immediate question is whether to add a sentence or two to the DNSBL spec saying that if you have a DNSBL listing both v4 and v6 addresses, and you list a v4 address, you SHOULD or MUST also list the corresponding embedded v6 address.

The real question is who's got enough real v6 experience and expertise to answer all of these v6 questions.
