Double stack IPv4&&IPv6 for a firewall

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi there!

The way is recommended to implement IPv6 in a network while IPv4 is still alive is double stack. In a network where all have DNS records, double stack means that each FQDN has an A reg. and an AAAA reg.

So, deploying a DNS-based firewall takes you to duplicate the ruleset, first for iptables/ip6tables and then for ipset family inet/ipset family inet6

The question is:

Do anyone knows a program, framework, script, method or whatever to face this situation?

I'm talking of an 'abstraction' method that hides the differences between iptables/ip6tables, as long as is using almost always FQDNs with both DNS regs to configure the ruleset.

Best regards.
