Traffic ipv6 translation support

Open Ashus opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

This adds a support for resolving IPv6 reverse addresses. Second commit is a bit more controversial, but handy as well. Imagine you have static IPv6 prefixes delegated in your network. For that you need static IPv6 routes to properly configured home routers. This feature allows to translate a dynamically created IP via SLAAC into last part of IPv6 address@GatewayName. eg. fc00:106:4:0:fc82:c2ff:ffff:a0cb would be translated to a0cb@ClientsName.

I don't mind taking a look at https://github.com/opnsense/core/pull/7981/commits/de690719fb1314b55d2ca74adb3a91f417de7aea, but the other commit looks to convoluted to me. can you open a PR for the reverse dns part only?

Here you go. Although I hope you give the second commit a second look later.
