=  Installing IPv6 capable BIND9 on AIX  =


The easiest way to add IPv6 capable BIND to AIX 4.3.3 is compile one to ourselves.
You can download BIND 9.2.5 or BING 9.3.1 from http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/bind9.html

Compiling is sufficiently easy: automaitcaly detects IPv6 support. The output of the {{{configure}}} script should look like:
{{{
 ...
 checking for IPv6 structures... yes
 checking for Kame IPv6 support... no
 checking for in6_addr... yes
 checking for in6addr_any... yes
 checking for in6addr_loopback... no
 checking for sin6_scope_id in struct sockaddr_in6... no
 checking for in6_pktinfo... yes
 checking for inet_ntop with IPv6 support... yes
 checking for working inet_pton with IPv6 support... no
 checking for inet_aton... yes
 ...
}}}
For some strange reason if configure does not find IPv6 support you should try adding {{{--enable-ipv6}}} to configure script.

You should compile {{{(make; make install)}}} with gcc.
