As a result, I’ve disabled it locally as well with `options { listen-on-ipv6 { none; }; };`. Well, there are more options than that, but that’s the relevant one. If I run with `-4` then the noise goes away. I was wondering if: (1) that `listen-on-ipv6 { none;}` should imply `-4` (the simplest) or (2) that there’s an easy way to parse and dump the options so my startup script can see if this option is set or not, and if it, add `-4` to the arguments it uses to start up named. I ask the second question because of the format of the config file, newlines and spaces are arbitrary so there’s no single canonical format I can search for. Thanks, -PhilipStarting with 9.20.5, you can use `query-source-v6 { none; };` to disable IPv6 for upstream queries. Thus `-4` effectively becomes: listen-on-v6 { none; }; query-source-v6 { none; }; The difference is that the config settings can be changed at runtime with a reload, whereas changing the state of `-4` requires restarting named. -DougNot working for me: Dec 11 13:47:03 OpenWrt2 named[32377]: the initial working directory is '/' Dec 11 13:47:03 OpenWrt2 named[32377]: loading configuration from '/etc/bind/named.conf' Dec 11 13:47:03 OpenWrt2 named[32377]: the working directory is now '/tmp/cache/bind' Dec 11 13:47:03 OpenWrt2 named[32377]: /etc/bind/named.conf:25: expected one address and/or port Dec 11 13:47:03 OpenWrt2 named[32377]: loading configuration: unexpected token Dec 11 13:47:03 OpenWrt2 named[32377]: exiting (due to fatal error) root@OpenWrt2:/etc/init.d# root@OpenWrt2:/etc/init.d# sed -n -e 25p /etc/bind/named.conf query-source-v6 { none; }; // no IPv6 logging noise root@OpenWrt2:/etc/init.d#
Sorry, minor syntax error. Should be 'query-source-v6 none;' (no braces) -Doug -- Visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list.
