Hi, I have a home network with debian (sid) systems and an ISDN router (Elsa Lancom). The router is also DNS and DHCP server. When I use telnet between two debian systems, the router dials to my ISP, because telnet-client and telnet-server sends DNS requests Typ AAAA (IPv6 requests) to the router. The router only understand IPv4-requests and forwards IPv6-requests to my ISP. I can disable this request, when I start the telnet-client with option -4, but I have no option found to disable IPv6-requests from telnetd. How can I disable DNS-IPv6-requests globally (I don't know which other ip programs use IPv6-requests). The kernel IPv6 options are disabled. I can't use local hosts because I use dhcp.
