Hi,

I've got 4 upstream DNS Servers from my ISP (2 IPv4, 2 IPv6) and use all of them in /etc/resolv.conf. I start sending DNS SRV querys from a client to dnsmasq DNS relay every 5 seconds.

Each request is sent to four DNS upstream servers (primary DNS v4, secondary DNS v4, primary DNS v6, secondary DNS v6). The answer from the fastest server is used. As the requests are DNS SRV records, the reply is not cached by dnsmasq.

During my tests the first IPv6 DNS server was always the fastest replying server and for this reason the answer from this server is passed to the client always, After some time the dnsmasq relay is not forwarding the requests to the four known DNS servers any more but only sends out the requests to either the first IPv4 DNS server or the first IPv6 DNS server. So only one server is used. After about 20 seconds (4 requests later) the dnsmasq process falls back to the expected behaviour of sending the request to all known DNS Servers.

does anybody knows the reason for this?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
