Within the Edmonton and Calgary regions, AAAA (IPv6) and PTR (reverse DNS) records are created automatically with the format id.region.cybera.ca (ege.g. abcd.yyc.cybera.ca) This generated domain name is added as metadata to your instance which you can view on an instance's details page on the dashboard or by using
...
When a floating IP address is assigned to an instance, an A record is created with the automated name for your instance, as well as a PTR record as well.
Custom PTR Records
If you wish your PTR record changed after the factfor your IPv6 address OR your floating IPv4 address changed, please contact rac-admin@cybera.ca for an administrator to make the change.

Common Issues
The most common issue seen when using the new automated names occurs when a service is running on the instance but not listening on IPv6 when the user has IPv6 access. As IPv6 is the default path used when available it's important to ensure that your security groups and services on your instance can handle IPv6 traffic. See the Security Groups section in the Basic Guide for more information.
