Thanks for all the responses, first thing .-)
Yeah ... how a DNS query arrives will at most determine how the response will be sent back. Whether a DNS query arrives via IPv4 or IPv6 does not in any way determine what the response contains.
So the server sends back two records instead of one, and the client just discards the one it can't use. That's not very efficient (stupid server!) Thanks for the clarification ;-)
The problem is this: cer@Telcontar:~> host download.opensuse.org download.opensuse.org has address 195.135.221.134 download.opensuse.org has IPv6 address 2001:67c:2178:8::13 cer@Telcontar:~> Now look at this message from the kernel when booting and setting up the network: <0.7> 2012-05-26 14:27:40 Telcontar kernel - - - [ 266.098003] eth0: no IPv6 routers present Nevertheless, if the IPv6 address fails, programs attempt to send IPv6 over internet, even though there is no IPv6 router, only same segment transport. One method of avoiding these connectivity problems would be to somehow not getting the IPv6 address in DNS queries, somehow. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
