Abstract
Systems and methods are described herein for validating an Internet Protocol (IP) version 6 (IPv6) address from an IP version 4 (IPv4) network. A method, according to one implementation, includes a step of receiving an IPv4-based request from a validation server that is configured to support an IPv4 address space. The method further includes a step of sending an IPv6-based request to a domain supporting an IPv6 address space. Also, the method includes receiving a response status code and domain validation information from the domain. Then, the method includes a step of passing the response status code and domain validation information to the validation server.
