The funny thing is that they’re reusing the IPv4 octets, that look like decimal notation, but in the hexadecimal Interface ID:
2a13:1001::86:54:11:100
So only hilarity can ensue from misunderstanding that; but the reverse DNS may be achievable.
Not to mention the unfortunate association with IPv4 in the service name. When will DNS6EU be released? More to the point, “for” is a distinctly English word, so has “4” become an international chatspeak stand-in?

- teddyh 1y agoNeither the IPv4 addresses nor the IPv6 addresses have reverse lookup set up correctly, as far as I can tell. Both are eminently, and easily, achievable.
- layer8 1y ago"4" as "for" is a decades-old naming convention. Remember log4j?
- xorcist 1y agoYou already know log4j. Now it's time for the sequel: log6j! On select cinemas in 2026. (It's a horror movie, don't bring the kids.)
