The DNS64 code was written by Viagenie, 2009, by Simon Perrault as part of the Ecdysis project. The code is copyright by them, and has the BSD license (see the dns64/dns64.c file). To enable DNS64 functionality in Unbound, two directives in unbound.conf must be edited: 1. The "module-config" directive must start with "dns64". For example: module-config: "dns64 validator iterator" If you're not using DNSSEC then you may remove "validator". 2. The "dns64-prefix" directive indicates your DNS64 prefix. For example: dns64-prefix: 64:FF9B::/96 The prefix must be a /96 or shorter. To test that things are working right, perform a query against Unbound for a domain name for which no AAAA record exists. You should see a AAAA record in the answer section. The corresponding IPv6 address will be inside the DNS64 prefix. For example: $ unbound -c unbound.conf $ dig @localhost jazz-v4.viagenie.ca aaaa [...] ;; ANSWER SECTION: jazz-v4.viagenie.ca. 86400 IN AAAA 64:ff9b::ce7b:1f02 NAT64 support was added by David Lamparter in 2022; license(s) of the surrounding code apply. Note that NAT64 is closely related but functionally orthogonal to DNS64; it allows Unbound to send outgoing queries to IPv4-only servers over IPv6 through the configured NAT64 prefix. This allows running an Unbound instance on an IPv6-only host without breaking every single domain that only has IPv4 servers. Whether that Unbound instance also does DNS64 is an independent choice. To enable NAT64 in Unbound, add to unbound.conf's "server" section: do-nat64: yes The NAT64 prefix defaults to the DNS64 prefix, which in turn defaults to the standard 64:FF9B::/96 prefix. You can reconfigure it with: nat64-prefix: 64:FF9B::/96 To test NAT64 operation, pick a domain that only has IPv4 reachability for its nameservers and try resolving any names in that domain.
