Hello, <br>
<br>
I would like to ask for your experience and advice on the following
situation: <br>
<br>
When we use a private IPv4 subnet (e.g. 10.10.10.0/24) with NAT (to
access the Internet) and at the same time (i.e. on the same LAN or
VLAN) we use a public IPv6 address space, what should be the naming
policy for hosts with dual stack, i.e. with a private IPv4 address
and a public IPv6 address?<br>
<br>
Naming using public IPv6 addresses leads to public names (e.g.
example.com), while naming using private IPv4 addresses leads to
private names (e.g. example.local). <br>
<br>
What is the best way to reconcile the two? I feel that hosts should
not be meant to have double names (in order to avoid management and
dns havoc). <br>
<br>
A (single) name should be an easy way to address a host, regardless
whether it is using IPv6 or IPv4; this idea is largely defeated if
we need to address/recognize (<b>in the local network</b>) a host
using a different name in IPv6 and in IPv4.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your advice and thoughts. <br>
<br>
Nick<br>
