Hello World! I've installed bind as described in BLFS and have done for years; it's never given me any problems and speeds up browsing. It's normally the only nameserver I need so I have only needed 1 line in /etc/resolv.conf:
nameserver 127.0.0.1 However, I recently found I am unable to open pages at www.nhs.uk in Firefox. /var/log/sys.log has lines like this: Jun 15 16:22:05 eccles named[911]: network unreachable resolving 'www.nhs.uk/A/IN': 2001:503:ba3e::2:30#53 Jun 15 16:22:07 eccles named[911]: network unreachable resolving 'nsa.nhs.uk/AAAA/IN': 2001:7fe::53#53 The 2001:503:ba3e::2:30#53 bit makes me suspect that the problem is something to do with IPv6; I think that named only works for IPv4 as I have an IPv4 connection. To work out what could be wrong I downloaded google's namebench and it has suggested a couple of nameservers to add to /etc/resolv.conf so it now looks like this: nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 8.8.4.4 # Google Public DNS-2 nameserver 62.24.128.17 # OpalTelecom G/TalkTalk GB With these nameservers I can now browse pages at www.nhs.uk but I'm not happy with this solution. I'd rather fix bind so it works properly. Can anyone give me some pointers as to how I can debug/fix the problem?
