Package: maradns Version: 1.3.07.09-2 Severity: important Hi,
When queried for the AAAA record of a hostname which is actually a
CNAME, maradns returns the CNAME record only, not the AAAA record
itself. This renders maradns unusable as a resolver for all
applications that wish to connect to such a host using IPv6, or use
the hostname lookup method for access verification. One example is the
inn2 newsserver.
Behaviour of maradns:
$ dig -t AAAA news.turmzimmer.net. @127.0.0.1
(...)
;; ANSWER SECTION:
news.turmzimmer.net. 891 IN CNAME alius.turmzimmer.net.
(...)
Expected behaviour (using bind9):
$ dig -t AAAA news.turmzimmer.net. @127.0.0.1
(...)
;; ANSWER SECTION:
news.turmzimmer.net. 43242 IN CNAME alius.turmzimmer.net.
alius.turmzimmer.net. 43243 IN AAAA 2001:6f8:1055:deb::80
(...)
Queries for the A record are handled as expected:
$ dig -t A news.turmzimmer.net. @127.0.0.1
(...)
;; ANSWER SECTION:
news.turmzimmer.net. 654 IN CNAME alius.turmzimmer.net.
alius.turmzimmer.net. 654 IN A 78.46.213.165
