I'm running into a DNS problem,  I'm not certain where the problem is,
but hopefully with this information someone can assist me.

the problem right now is exclusively with *.etrade.com

I am running an internal DNS server. (FBSD-4.6.2/named-8.3.3 with the most 
recent security patches, and the most recent named.root)

If I use an application that only tries to query A? it works successfully. 
(i.e. ping/traceroute) But if it queries AAAA?, then it runs into
problems.

The clients I have tried this on, have been various BSD boxes, all produce 
the same result.

> telnet www.etrade.com 80
www.etrade.com: No address associated with hostname

.101 is the server, .200 is the client

...

I'm not sure why the only requests that go out are the AAAA requests and not
the A's... as I mentioned before, this is the only domain that I have
experienced this behavior on, but the test set is small enough that I dont
want to assume its etrade, especially since I see my server only sending
AAAA's out.

And insight is appreciated

Jeff
