Hello,
I'm trying to use dig version 9.10.3 to test my local DNS server which listens on IPv6 only. I only get an error when running dig: > $ dig @2a01:488:66:1000:53a9:2dde:0:1 cweiske.de > couldn't get address for '2a01:488:66:1000:53a:53': not found So how can I specify an IPv6 address in the "@" server parameter? ---- I found the same question in the mailing list archive of 2013; https://lists.isc.org/mailman/htdig/bind-users/2013-August/091479.html The solution there was to not only pass the IPv6 address, but also the network interface name. This unfortunately does not seem to work anymore: > $ ifconfig venet0 > venet0: flags=211<UP,BROADCAST,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP> mtu 1500 > inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 0.0.0.0 destination > 127.0.0.1 > inet6 ::2 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x80<compat,global> > inet6 2a01:488:66:1000:53a9:2dde:0:1 prefixlen 128 scopeid > 0x0<global> > > $ dig @2a01:488:66:1000:53a:53%venet0 cweiske.de > dig: couldn't get address for '2a01:488:66:1000:53a:53%venet0': not > found ---- What works is adding an IPv6-only entry to /etc/hosts and then using that as hostname in @: > $ grep ahso3- /etc/hosts > 83.169.45.222 ahso3-ipv4 > 2a01:488:66:1000:53a9:2dde:0:1 ahso3-ipv6 > > $ dig @ahso3-ipv6 +short AAAA cweiske.de > 2a01:488:66:1000:523:f116:0:1 But this is just a workaround. How can I specify an IPv6 address in the @ server parameter of dig? -- Regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Weiske -=≡ Geeking around in the name of science since 1982 ≡=- _______________________________________________ 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
