.SH "NAME"
.PP
\fIsiit\fP - enables AAAA->A translation support for DNS records based on SIIT (IPv6->IPv4 translation).
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The \fIsiit\fP plugin will when asked for a domain's A record,
synthesizes it from a corresponding AAAA record if it belongs to a certain IP range.
.PP
It also supports arbitrary mapping IPv6->IPv4.
.PP
It is useful when published services are IPv6-only and emit their AAAA record accordingly
but IPv4 clients reach them through a siit routing. This plugin generates the associated A records
for these clients automatically.
.SH "SYNTAX"
.PP
.RS
.nf
siit {
ipv6\_prefix IPV6PREFIX
eam IPV4 IPV6
}
.fi
.RE
.IP \(bu 4
\fB\fCipv6_prefix\fR specifies any local IPv6 prefix to use, instead of the well known prefix (64:ff9b::/96)
.IP \(bu 4
\fB\fCeam\fR translates the ipv6 to the corresponding ipv4, it can be set multiple times
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
.RS
.nf

siit {
ipv6\_prefix 64:1337::/96

.SH "METRICS"
.PP
If monitoring is enabled (via the \fIprometheus\fP plugin) then the following metrics are exported:
.IP \(bu 4
\fB\fCcoredns_siit_requests_translated_total{server}\fR - counter of DNS requests translated
.PP
The \fB\fCserver\fR label is explained in the \fIprometheus\fP plugin documentation.
.SH "BUGS"
.IP \(bu 4
Prefix matching in eam is not implemented yet.
.IP \(bu 4
DNSSEC support is not implemented yet. The problem is the same as DNS64. See: RFC 6147 Section 3
\[la]https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc6147/#section-3\[ra]
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.PP
See RFC 6052
\[la]https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc6052/\[ra] for more information on the SIIT mechanism
and RFC 7757
\[la]https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7757/\[ra] about the explicit address mappings (eam) mechanism
.SH "NOTES"
.PP
This plugin is heavily based on dns64 plugin
\[la]../dns64\[ra].
