Hi,

can you elaborate on this a bit more (without exposing the security of
the FreeBSD.org cluster)?
The reason I ask is that we're going to implement a new DNS soon'ish
and it will also need to serve IPV6.
It's planned to run pf on the nameservers directly. At least until we
have a commercial firewall that actually does IPV6 better than pf ;-)

Or is there information on the web about this, somewhere?



Thanks in advance
Rainer
