I get these also. victoriassecret.com must be using a broken DNS server or DNS load balancer that doesn't understand AAAA records. This isn't about your BIND server querying /over/ IPv6, it is about your BIND server asking for AAAA records, probably because it was asked to resolve AAAA records on behalf of its recursive clients. All the popular operating systems will do this by default now. You can just ignore the messages. _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
