got the web server back up. but, i wasn't too worried about that.
the really goody was finding out that the web site i was using to help me set up ipv6 had OLD information in it. once i found that out, i found better sources and fixed the problem quite easily.
the little ".ip6.int" does *not* go at the end of your zone entry in the /etc/named.conf file. rather, you have ".ip6.arpa" at the end of the file. after that, everything made sense.
i'm really glad i spent some time a few months back reading a book called "code" by charles petzold. if it wasn't for spending some time with that book a while back, i think ipv6 would have really stomped the hell out of my brain!
i'm glad i started reading that book. nope, not finished with it, but what i have read has been invaluable towards my understanding the field in which i currently work.
well, gotta get some sleep. since i worked late, i can probably sleep in a bit. but, then again, i can get a little over time if i can prey myself from the bed.
i think i like sleep at bit more than money sometimes.
