hosts file. Why does DNS look up not pass through the failed IPv6 DNSs and use 8.8.8.8? Is this a new "feature" that came in with a recent update?

I got things going again by putting the tunnel server address in my listed nameservers works just fine. I don't use any ipv6 servers though.
So, the question remains, what changed that broke something that had been working for 4 years? There were some updates last week and this failed when I rebooted the computer on Saturday night.
I'll run an update on an office desktop and see if I can reproduce. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (25.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
