IPv6 Domain Resolution Reference
Last updated
All DNSimple name servers have IPv6 addresses and answer queries over IPv6, so resolvers on IPv6-only networks can look up your domain. The name servers article lists each server’s IPv6 address.
IPv6 records
Answering over IPv6 is about how resolvers reach the name servers. For your domain to point visitors to an IPv6 address, add an AAAA record. An AAAA record is the IPv6 counterpart to the IPv4 A record and maps a domain name to an IPv6 address.
You can add AAAA records in the record editor. For step-by-step instructions, see Manage AAAA Records. For the record format and how DNSimple normalizes IPv6 addresses, see AAAA Record Format.
