+ <para>
+ A reverse DDNS Domain maps a reverse DNS zone to a set of DNS
+ servers which maintain the reverse DNS data (address to name
+ mapping) for that zone. You will need one reverse DDNS Domain
+ for each zone you wish to service. It may very well be that
+ some or all of your zones are maintained by the same servers;
+ even then, you will still need one DDNS Domain entry for each
+ zone. Remember that matching a request to the appropriate
+ server(s) is done by zone and a DDNS Domain only defines a
+ single zone.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ This section describes how to add Reverse DDNS Domains. Repeat these
+ steps for each Reverse DDNS Domain desired. Each Reverse DDNS Domain
+ has the following parameters:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <simpara>
+ <command>name</command> -
+ The fully qualified reverse zone that this DDNS Domain
+ can update. This is the value used during reverse matching
+ which will compare it with a reversed version of the request's
+ lease address. The zone name should follow the appropriate
+ standards: for example, to to support the IPv4 subnet 172.16.1,
+ the name should be. "1.16.172.in-addr.arpa.". Similarly,
+ to support an IPv6 subnet of 2001:db8:1, the name should be
+ "1.0.0.0.8.B.D.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa."
+ Whatever the name, it must be unique within the catalog.
+ </simpara>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <simpara>
+ <command>key-name</command> -
+ If TSIG should be used with this domain's servers, then this
+ value should be the name of that key from the TSIG Key List.
+ If the value is blank (the default), TSIG will not be
+ used in DDNS conversations with this domain's servers. Currently
+ this value is not used as TSIG has not been implemented.
+ </simpara>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <simpara>
+ <command>dns-servers</command> -
+ a list of one or more DNS servers which can conduct the server
+ side of the DDNS protocol for this domain. Currently the servers
+ are used in a first to last preference. In other words, when D2
+ begins to process a request for this domain it will pick the
+ first server in this list and attempt to communicate with it.
+ If that attempt fails, it will move to next one in the list and
+ so on until the it achieves success or the list is exhausted.
+ </simpara>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ To create a new reverse DDNS Domain, one must add a new domain element
+ and set its parameters. For example, to support subnet 2001:db8:1::,
+ the following configuration could be used:
<screen>
