This is IMHO dhcp-client issue ...

No, it isn't a dhcp-client issue ;-) It is basically a duplicate of bug #632530 -- a difference in the kernel behavior between "ipv6.disable=1" and "disable_ipv6=1". (In reply to comment #0)

Actual Results: DNS client sends AAAA request even after IPv6 was allegedly disabled.

Expected Results: DNS A only.

No. The query is not the problem. A getaddrinfo with hints.ai_family==AF_UNSPEC is fine and queries both, A and AAAA records, whether IPv6 is enabled or not. You can ask for AAAA records over IPv4. $ host -t AAAA www.kame.net 203.178.141.194 Using domain server: Name: 203.178.141.194 Address: 203.178.141.194#53 Aliases: www.kame.net is an alias for orange.kame.net. orange.kame.net has IPv6 address 2001:200:dff:fff1:216:3eff:feb1:44d7 I'll attach some test results to bug #632530, that was reported earlier and provides concrete symptoms. Please continue there. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 632530 *** http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=632530 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
