Please note that this bug is now fixed in glibc 2.9, with the implementation of unified lookup. Both A and AAAA address are looked-up at the same time (starting with the A query), and the resolver does not choke anymore on a missing AAAA answer.
However the behavior of the resolver will be restored to the one in glibc 2.7, as some even more broken DNS servers are getting confused and only answer to the AAAA request with a broken answer. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 [email protected] http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
