Package: libc6
Version: 2.5-2
Severity: normal
Hello,
When I specify an IPv6 address as my nameserver, resolution fails instantly and
a packet trace reveals no traffic. For instance if I specify only:
nameserver 2002:CFAC:5504:2::0
in /etc/resolv.conf, no queries go out. Not sure if this is a glibc
compile-time option to disable this feature, but I'm pretty sure that glibc has
supported IPv6 transport on resolution since version 2.2. Using the dig
command
directly (with the -6 option) of course allows me to use IPv6 as transport, so
I
know v6 routing and other config is set up right.
I have tried this with both 'options inet6' on and off. Let me know if I can
provide any more information.
