I would be grateful if someone might be able to shed some light on an apparent problem I've got with an experimental DNS I have setup.
Specifically, the Dig tool at http://www.kloth.net/services/dig.php seems unable to resolve my records and I can't help but feel it's a problem at my end rather than theirs! The domain is v6ns.org, and the record I am attempting to query for is ns1.v6ns.org - here's what the Kloth Dig tool gets: [dig 'ns1.v6ns.org' 'A' +trace] dig: couldn't get address for 'ns1.v6ns.org': failure ; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> ns1.v6ns.org A +trace ;; global options: printcmd . 301721 IN NS I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 301721 IN NS J.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 301721 IN NS K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 301721 IN NS L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 301721 IN NS M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 301721 IN NS A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 301721 IN NS B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 301721 IN NS C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 301721 IN NS D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 301721 IN NS E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 301721 IN NS F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 301721 IN NS G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 301721 IN NS H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. ;; Received 228 bytes from 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1) in 0 ms org. 172800 IN NS A2.ORG.AFILIAS-NST.INFO. org. 172800 IN NS A0.ORG.AFILIAS-NST.INFO. org. 172800 IN NS D0.ORG.AFILIAS-NST.org. org. 172800 IN NS C0.ORG.AFILIAS-NST.INFO. org. 172800 IN NS B0.ORG.AFILIAS-NST.org. org. 172800 IN NS B2.ORG.AFILIAS-NST.org. ;; Received 432 bytes from 192.36.148.17#53(I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET) in 8 ms v6ns.org. 86400 IN NS ns1.v6ns.org. v6ns.org. 86400 IN NS ns2.v6ns.org. ;; Received 150 bytes from 199.249.112.1#53(A2.ORG.AFILIAS-NST.INFO) in 4 ms I set the domain up to experiment with IPv6, which could be why I've got a problem... I have a single DNS server with a IPv4 address and two IPv6 addresses. The zone file is as follows: $ORIGIN v6ns.org. $TTL 300 @ IN SOA ns1.v6ns.org. dns.newtonnet.co.uk. ( 2010012000 ; Serial 14400 ; Refresh 7200 ; Retry 950400 ; Expire 300 ) ; Negative Cache TTL IN NS ns1.v6ns.org. IN NS ns2.v6ns.org. ns1 IN AAAA 2a01:348:133::a1 ns1 IN A 77.103.161.36 ns2 IN AAAA 2a01:348:6:a1::2 The same delegation records are present as glue in the .org nameservers. Local lookups for ns1.v6ns.org (A and AAAA records) work fine, as they also do from Men&Mice's online Dig tool. So why not Kloth's? I can't help but feel it is given the lack of an IPv4 A record for ns2.v6ns.org - either as glue in .org or within my own v6ns.org zone. But should this matter? In the absence of an IPv4 A-record for the ns2.v6ns.org delegation in .org shouldn't their Dig attempt to connect to ns1.v6ns.org instead (yes, they are the same machine but noone else knows this but me... and you!)? I would be grateful for any assistance, and would be more than happy to provide further details if the above is insufficient.
