System: FreeBSD ice 4.8-STABLE FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #2: Sat Jul 5 19:52:29 CEST 2003 root at ice:/export/obj/export/src/sys/ICE i386

FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE from last week.

>Description:

dig -x <v6addr> should convert the address to .ip6.arpa notation
before looking it up.

However this code has a bug, and does this incorrectly

>How-To-Repeat:

| ice:~>dig +qu -x 2001:608:8:0:0:0:0:1
| 
[...]

There is clearly one '8' missing, the correct string should be:

1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.0.0.0.8.0.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa

from googling, this appears to have already been fixed in the bind-8.4.0
release.

>Fix:

a simple cut&paste error in reverse6();
