Hmm, latest version of Bind is working fine for me 9.8.0-P2, though I had to rejig the test suite patch because they added ipv6 interface tests. root@anu [ /sources/smbldap-tools-0.9.6 ]# nslookup > Server: 192.168.143.225 Address: 192.168.143.225#53 Non-authoritative answer: www.nhs.uk canonical name = www.prod.nhs.uk.akadns.net.

That address is A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET and is rather odd that it is looking at the AAAA host for an A record (especially if no IPv6 GW is setup). Latest hints file is dated June 8th, 2011, and added only the AAAA record for D, and changed the TTL for L's AAAA record from 7D to 41.6_D (like the rest). Book is current for all A records, but AAAA records should probably be added at some point (because I like that format much better than the one at IANA/internic). Probably also need to add ::1 to /etc/hosts in LFS at some point soon enough. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
