Hi all, Given that V4-V6 transition will take some time, the default protocol for communication will still be V4. Hence, I want to run a dual stack for some time. Can I send multiple queries (asking server for all A6, AAAA, and A records all at once), so that I can decide which interface I want to talk to ? This assumes, of course that I can transmit V6 packets, say by using tunneling or translation etc.

I haven't studied the RFCs in detail, but I would consider any DNS server that returns non-A records in the answer section of a NOERROR response to an "A" query to be broken. Now, the authority and additional sections are another matter. You always ask first for AAAA, then A6 if you insist, and finally A address records. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The IPv6 Users Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe users" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
