Hi Guys,Basically I am trying to do the following: 1) If I use link-local ipv6 address (of domain controller) in my resolv.conf, my resolver routines (glibc 2.13) is not able to resolve a domain name to an ip address, though I am able to ping that link- local ipv6 address.
Have you specified the "scope" in the link-local address i.e. fe80::xxx%eth0 ...or similar? Link-locals cannot be used without a scope. For example: # dig @fe80::blah www.ic.ac.uk ; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P4-RedHat-9.8.3-5.P4.el5 <<>> @fe80::blah www.ic.ac.uk ; (1 server found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached ...fails, but then this: # dig @fe80::blah%eth0 www.ic.ac.uk ; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P4-RedHat-9.8.3-5.P4.el5 <<>> @fe80::blah%eth0 www.ic.ac.uk ; (1 server found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 32643 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 4, ADDITIONAL: 7 ...works. This is basic IPv6, and not dig-specific. _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
