DNS entries needed for mirror hosts
Updated Mar 20, 2011 by jfesler

This is provided for entities that donate (hosts, VMs, etc), but leave actual management over to jfesler. This should also be a good guide for people setting up their own mirrors under their own administrative domain.

Single host example

DNS entries, subject to your branding approval:

IPv4 and IPv6 (primary addresses):

Server #1: one IPv4 (A) IP, one IPv6 (AAAA) IP, with multiple names mapped to those two IPs

test-ipv6.example.com   A     
ipv4.test-ipv6.example.com A
ipv6.test-ipv6.example.com AAAA
ds.test-ipv6.example.com A and AAAA
ns1.test-ipv6.example.com AAAA

Please also add:

v6ns.test-ipv6.example.com  NS ns1.test-ipv6.example.com.
