IPv6 support missing

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031103 Firebird/0.7+ Description of problem: IPv6 support is completely missing. This manivests in multiple ways: r-c-p complains about lines like ipsix IN AAAA fe80::207:e9ff:fe9b Zone descriptions like zone "\[xfec0000000000000/64].ip6.arpa" IN { type master; file "fec0.zone"; allow-update { none; }; }; are not recognized as reverse tables. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-bind-2.0.1-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Add IPv6 data to bind configuration 2.start r-c-b 3. Actual Results: unknown ['ipsix', 'IN', 'AAAA', 'fe80::207:e9ff:fe9b'] .ip6.arpa zones not recognized as reverse tables in GUI. Expected Results: support IPv6 everywhere IPv6 is supported. Additional info:
Note that the format I used in my zone files is not to be used anymore. The bit string format has been deprecated. Long live the nibble format (hopefully). Anyway, my current config file is not even parsed. Any proposals on what data you need to debug this? I get this message: # system-config-bind Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/system-config-bind-gui", line 95, in ? cfg = ConfNamed.ConfNamed("/etc/named.conf",ROOTDIR) File "/usr/share/system-config-bind/ConfNamed.py", line 324, in __init__ current[-1].setOpt(val[0],join(val[1:],' ')) IndexError: list index out of range It's not related to the IPv6 zone info but the named.conf file is quite complex (but works fine).
The latest system-config-bind-4.0.0-16 in FC-3/4 / Rawhide should fix this problem. It parses the bit-string format, but will always write the nibble format .
Seems to work OK in FC3+.
