SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0-or-later + +.. _mod-dns64: + +DNS64 +===== + +The module for :rfc:`6147` DNS64 AAAA-from-A record synthesis, it is used to enable client-server communication between an IPv6-only client and an IPv4-only server. See the well written `introduction`_ in the PowerDNS documentation. +If no address is passed (i.e. ``nil``), the well-known prefix ``64:ff9b::`` is used. + +.. _introduction: https://doc.powerdns.com/md/recursor/dns64 + +Simple example +-------------- + +.. code-block:: lua + + -- Load the module with default settings + modules = { 'dns64' } + -- Reconfigure later + dns64.config({ prefix = '2001:db8::aabb:0:0' }) + +.. warning:: The module currently won't work well with :func:`policy.STUB`. + Also, the IPv6 ``prefix`` passed in configuration is assumed to be ``/96``. + +.. tip:: The A record sub-requests will be DNSSEC secured, but the synthetic AAAA records can't be.
