A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IPNG Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: DNS Extension to Support IP Version 6
	Author(s)	: C. Huitema, S. Thomson, M. Crawford
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ipngwg-dns-lookups-01.txt
	Pages		: 13
	Date		: 10-Aug-98
	
    This document defines the changes that need to be made to the Domain
    Name System to support hosts running IP version 6 (IPv6).  The
    changes include a new resource record type to store an IPv6 address
    and updated definitions of existing query types that return Internet
    addresses as part of additional section processing.
 
    For lookups keyed on IPv6 addresses (often called reverse lookups),
    this document defines a new domain to hold the top-level delegation
    information and a zone structure which allows a zone to be used
    without modification for parallel copies of an address space (as for
    a multihomed provider or site) and across network renumbering
    events.

Send a message to:	mailserv@localhost.  In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipngwg-dns-lookups-01.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
