There are a lot of systems where every DNS lookup has to timeout on the IPV6 lookup, thus IPV6 must be disabled.
Where is the problem? Provided you are using v4 to do DNS queries -- if a DNS query does not return an AAAA, all is well. If it does return AAAA, but not have an IPv6 route to the target address, all is well. If you have a v6 route for ::/0, you have v6 Internet, or at least a router which advertises such. Disabling IPv6 on the client system is hardly a fix for router issues, in case the advertisement is wrongful.
Agreed, I thought those issues were resolved already. Wasn't there a bug somewhere for this?
yes, this is solved, bnc#561611 -- YaST now does it via sysctl. It is important to keep CONFIG_IPV6=y everywhere or it will break again. I need to see why this is currently not true for x86_64/ec2, sparc64/net and i386/ec2.
The ec2 flavors should be adjusted but sparc64 is under Jan Engelhardt's maintainership.
sparc64/net is one where every saved byte counts, so it's modules as far as the eye can see. If IPv4 was not so uglily tied into everything, even v4 would be a module. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
