Works fine for me on RedHat 5.7 without a scope-identifier in
/etc/resolv.conf. I notice, however, that the stock dig
(9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-16.P1.el5, yeah, I know I should upgrade) shows
the scope identifier in its output:
;; SERVER: fe80::250:56bf:fe8d:47b%2#53(fe80::250:56bf:fe8d:47b)
so it must be picking that up somehow along the way.

Hi Phil
This is really awesome!
It works for me, my own glibc-2.3 is able to resolve the domain name and fetch
me an ip address.
I had re'd that scope concept in link-local, but was not sure about using it in
resolv.conf.
Thank you all for replying.
God bless you!!
Thanks,
Alok

Hi Guys,
Basically I am trying to do the following:
1) If I use link-local ipv6 address (of domain controller) in my
resolv.conf, my resolver routines (glibc 2.13) is not able to resolve a domain
name to an ip address, though I am able to ping that link-
local ipv6 address.
Have you specified the "scope" in the link-local address i.e.
fe80::xxx%eth0
...or similar? Link-locals cannot be used without a scope. For example:
# dig @fe80::blah www.ic.ac.uk
; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P4-RedHat-9.8.3-5.P4.el5 <<>> @fe80::blah www.ic.ac.uk ; (1
server found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
...fails, but then this:
# dig @fe80::blah%eth0 www.ic.ac.uk
; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P4-RedHat-9.8.3-5.P4.el5 <<>> @fe80::blah%eth0 www.ic.ac.uk ;
(1 server found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 32643 ;; flags: qr aa rd
ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 4, ADDITIONAL: 7
...works. This is basic IPv6, and not dig-specific.
