Hi, * Mark Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [05-02-17 16:58]:
newszilla6.xs4all.nl: connecting to port nntp... warning: newszilla6.xs4all.nl: cannot resolve host name: Name exists in DNS, but has no associated address ("A"-type DNS resource record). newszilla6.xs4all.nl: connection failed.
Can you please send strace output? fetchnews is supposed to support IPv6 - that error message is slightly misleading, it actually indicates that the resolver didn't return any data.
Here's the relevant strace log:

And here's the relevant output of tcpdump when filtering for udp port 53:
#v+ 20:04:20.067023 192.168.23.6.1561 > 192.168.23.3.domain: 33125+ A? newszilla6.xs4all.nl.

(192.168.23.3 is the DNS server, 192.168.23.6 is the server leafnode is running one, and .home is my home network's domain)
