Hello Michiel,

Mailers are going to use the A record, so not a good "solution". It would be better to not use ddns.net at all, and just put the IPv6 in the nodelist.

Indeed. It should be a temporary situation I hope, until they fix it...

Btw: Did you get an explanation for the identical /64 on all the nodes?
