The average IPv6 address is represented as something like "fedc:ba98:7654:3210:fedc:ba98:7654:3210". If you know a couple of IPv4 addresses off the top of your head, you will really want to think about making [DNS] work for you come IPv6 deployment! Thankfully [DNS] supports IPv6 addresses; there are two types of ResourceRecord, <tt>AAAA</tt> and <tt>A6</tt>. See [AAAAvsA6] for details about the differences.
If you want to do reverse lookups (that is, find the name if you already have an address), make sure your <tt>host</tt> command supports IPv6. On DebianLinux, install the <tt>bind9-host</tt> package instead of the old <tt>host</tt> package. For [Gentoo], install <tt>net-dns/bind-tools</tt> instead of the <tt>net-misc/host</tt> port.
