I upgraded BIND on one of our DNS servers (running FreeBSD 4.x) to version 9, and now all of our other machines that use this server for DNS resolution is experiencing a problem where "localhost" seems to be resolving to "::1". For example, if I previously typed: telnet localhost 25 I would get: Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. ... But now, I get: Trying ::1... Which takes forever to timeout. In my /etc/hosts file, I have ::1 localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost We don't use IPV6 at all, and I do have the localhost.rev and localhost-v6.rev added into the new BIND 9 server. Does anyone have an idea of how I can get this to work the way it used to? Thanks, Patrick
