DNSBL and IPv6

BiloxiGeek

Making some changes in the DNSBL setup and noticed that the help info for IPv6 DNSBL seems a bit off.

Enable DNSBL for IPv6 DNS Resolution filtering. Default IPv6 Webserver address [ ::10.10.10.1 ] and ports [80/443]

The default address seems to be a combo of v4 and v6, possibly a typo. And there's also no entry field to change that address if needed. I do actually have a host on my LAN that uses 10.10.10.1 so there's a conflict right out of the box.

Consulting the interwebs tells me that when I select the IPv6 option I should see an entry box to define the address but it does not pop up.

Does it just follow the IPv4 address that is listed above that? In my case it would end up being ::10.0.0.86

Yes. In this specific context that's the notation being used. (Full IPv6 web server address, for reference then, would be: http://[0000:0000:0000:0000:0010:0000:0000:0086])

Nota bene: I use 0.0.0.0 which renders the DNSBL webserver useless and inaccessible, but otherwise returns 0.0.0.0 or ::/NOERROR answers to all blocked lookups.
