Important site-specific Notes

Hosts

Adding hosts should work normally.

When you choose the domain for your host, be careful:

• The nsupdate.info domain is offered and controlled by us.
• Other public domains are offered and controlled by other users of this service. Availability of these is up to them.
• Please have a look at the owners and their comments about the available domains in the domain overview.

Domains

If you add an own domain (not just a host), your nameserver address must be IP v6, which can be achieved in 2 ways:

• your nameserver has a native IPv6 address - just use it!
• your nameserver only has IPv4 (e.g. 192.0.2.33), then create a IPv6 address like shown below and enter it into the nsupdate.info form field:

       +-------------------+--------------+----------------------------+
       | Well-Known Prefix | IPv4 address | IPv4-Embedded IPv6 address |
       +-------------------+--------------+----------------------------+
       | 64:ff9b::/96      |  192.0.2.33  | 64:ff9b::192.0.2.33        |
       +-------------------+--------------+----------------------------+
       (taken from RFC 6052, section 2.4)
      

We require IPv6 because the machine that runs this service only has v6 connectivity.

Updates to external IPv6 DNS servers should work now, see: issue #140
