I think this happens because the DNS gives back IPv6 addresses. I don't know if it is possible to configure bind not to return such addresses.
Would be nice to get the root cause and not some workaround to move the problem into the future.
Indeed.
Every app is allowed to try to use IPv6 if the target has an IPv6 address. After that basically two types of issues can happen:
That's why I think that a "solution" would be telling, for example to bind, that it should not give ipv6 addresses as responses for name queries. That way IPv6 network is not impeded on the local network, but it would be fine on internet, because it would not be attempted.
- the app does not retry using IPv4 at all -> the app needs to be fixed - the network is misconfigured and the app has to wait for a timeout until it can try IPv4
I think that if the resolution comes back as an IPv6 address and another IPv4, it tries first v6, and after it times out, it tries v4 In the case of zypper, I think that in some cases you only get an IPv6 server as the closest to you, and it fails, of course. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
