Issue #13568 has been updated by Patrick Carlisle. Status changed from Unreviewed to Accepted Keywords set to ipv6
Unfortunately this is caused by an issue in the ruby platform. There's a compile-time flag that specifies the lookup order and it doesn't seem smart about figuring anything out beyond that. [<https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/ruby_1_8_7/ext/socket/socket.c#L133>] We would definitely like to make this work, but we're going to have to figure out a code workaround. One possible solution for you now would be to use puppet to manage the configuration such that your ipv6 hosts use a puppet master dns name that only has a AAAA record, though it's a bit fragile. ---------------------------------------- Bug #13568: Puppet defaults to A record on an IPv6 only client in a dual stack environment. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13568#change-59935 Author: Greg Cockburn Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: agent Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: ipv6 Branch: I am running a dual stack master to support my IPv4 hosts and my IPv6 hosts. My IPv6 only hosts fail to work as puppet (or ruby) does a lookup for an "A" record which of course succeeds, and so never does a look up for a "AAAA" record. Other services are coping fine with the dual stack, (figuring out they are on a IPv6 host and trying to lookup 'AAAA' records first.) This of course results in a 'network unreachable' error when trying to retrieve file metadata and catalogue. I am running puppet on Debian Squeeze.
