Ah, true that. Does nslookup do that by default? > OK, fair enough. If you ask a DNS64 server for an A record, it should still > give you back an A record.

And this was what seemed weird about the original question. In my experience, an IPv6 only host (and IPv6 only means no routable v4 address - so you might have 169.254, but nothing else) only emits AAAA lookups. But maybe I need to look more carefully. I'm working towards building an IPv6 only environment here, and my (often erroneous) thinking presupposes certain behavior. cheers, mark _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
