However, if we put following lines in /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver nameserver 8.2.X of nslookup simply ignored an IPv6 line and did query to IPv4 address. 8.3.X of nslookup doesn't ignore an IPv6 line due to an IPv6 awareness of libbind and try to query to 0.0.0.0 which is dummy nsaddr_list entry for an IPv6 entry. -- Hajimu UMEMOTO @ Internet Mutual Aid Society Yokohama, Japan ume@mahoroba.org ume@bisd.hitachi.co.jp ume@{,jp.}FreeBSD.org http://www.imasy.org/~ume/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
