The following reply was made to PR misc/78565; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Roy Badami <roy@gnomon.org.uk> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: misc/78565: Default FreeBSD 5.3 named setup has problems resolving names due to IPv6 issues Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2005 22:49:20 +0000 I should add that this problem also affects the bind9 port in FreeBSD 4. I'm not sure whether it effects the BIND 8 install in the base FreeBSD 4 system (I suspect not [1], but I'm not immediately in a position to verify it). Another good way to demonstrate the problem is with dig, which suffers from the same problem as named The command dig @a.gtld-servers.net foo.com will fail to get a response, because a.gtld-servers.net is IPv6-connected. -roy [1] I note that /usr/bin/dig doesn't suffer from this on FreeBSD 4.10, but that /usr/local/bin/dig (built from the bind9 port) does; hence the suspicion that BIND 8's named won't suffer from this either.
