Before I filed a bug report I wanted to ask this on the list to see
if I am missing anything.
When a host has both an A and an AAAA record it seems that Bacula
prefers the A record. Since most people who run IPv6 are still
running it in dual-stack environments most hosts will have both
records. It is common practice for clients to favor AAAA records in
order to facilitate the eventual switchover. I for one am trying to
move and test each service one by one and my life becomes more
difficult when I have to play games with records in order for Bacula
to connect over IPv6.
Second, when a host has both types of records and the Bacula daemons
are only listening on IPv6, Bacula does not try to fail over to the
other address. I tried to force Bacula to use IPv6 by forcing the
FD to listen on IPv6 but the director will try to use the A record
and never even attempt to contact the FD over IPv6. Most clients
attempt the preferred record and then fall back to the non-preferred
record in the event of error.
Am I doing something wrong here or I am correct in thinking that the
address resolution behavior should be modified?
One last item ... Has anybody successfully gotten the Win32 FD to
use IPv6? I used the precompiled version and it gave me an error
similar to:
got token 'ipv6' expecting [ip|ipv4]
I received this error when I tried to force it to listen on IPv6 by
putting the following in the FD config:
FDAddresses {
ipv6 = { addr = <ADDRESS6>; port=9102; }
}
I then though that maybe ipv6 was not built into the precompiled
version, so I compiled it myself and I received the same error. I
read in the archives a response from Kern stating that IPv6 should
be supported in Win32 but according to the error that I am getting
it doesn't even look like ipv6 is valid for win32.
Thanks,
Matthew Brothers
