The error message you mention is likely an attempt to do something with IPv6 addresses; perhaps your machine or your network is explicitly configured to do IPv4 only? Does a dig against a well-known working nameserver return valid results like below? % dig -t mx health.nyc.gov @4.2.2.2 ; <<>> DiG 9.6.3 <<>> -t mx health.nyc.gov @4.2.2.2 ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 12326 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 4, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;health.nyc.gov.
