I've got an "interesting" network setup I'm trying to work with. There are hosts with IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces. For reasons beyond my control and comprehension, the IT department decided to put the A and AAAA records in different domains. Thus, we have a machine foo, which has:
foo.d1.com IN A 10.1.8.200 foo.d2.com IN AAAA 3ffe:80c0:22c:60:203:baff:fe2c:b672 Now, let's say I've got the following in resolv.conf: search d1.com d2.com and I issue the query, "nslookup -type=aaaa foo". What should the resolver do? My reading of RFC 1034, section 5.3.3, says it should query foo.d1.com, get back a response of "no errors, no answers", and iterate to foo.d2.com, where it will get back the AAAA record. My esteemed colleague says when it gets back the "no errors, no answers" response, it should stop iterating at that point. Experimentally, the solaris boxes exhibit the first behavior, and the linux boxes the second. Which is correct? _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
