DNS Errors

[Lou Goddard]

This is what you're looking for:

"The listen-on-v6 option is used to specify the ports on which the
server will listen for incoming queries sent using IPv6.
The server does not bind a separate socket to each IPv6 interface
address as it does for IPv4. Instead, it always listens on the IPv6
wildcard address.
Therefore, the only values allowed for the address_match_list argument
to the listen-on-v6 statement are { any; } And { none;}
Multiple listen-on-v6 options can be used to listen on multiple ports:
To make the server not listen on any IPv6 address, use
listen-on-v6 { none; };
If no listen-on-v6 statement is specified, the server will not listen on
any IPv6 address."

Keep in mind that disabling ipv6 does not disable the ability to serve
AAAA records.

Compiling:
Simply untar; ./configure; make; make install.  I don't know where bind
is located on Enterprise 4.  You may have to manually update the system
binaries.

Slow resolution:
Could you post a dig of the query?

Hello,

I've set up DNS on our Linux Enterprise 4 server. It will resolve names,

but slowly. When I run Ethereal to capture the DNS UDP packets, I see 
that I receive a lot of

"Standard query response, Format Error"

in the Ethereal capture. This seems to be associated with the AAAA 
lookups . Can I turn off IPV6 in Bind version 9.2.4.

My other alternative I was looking at is upgrading to 9.3. However I 
can't find an RPM for 9.3. I downloaded the bind-9.3.2.tar.gz file but 
due to a lack of experience with compiling, I'm having problems doing an

install from this download.

I had DNS working just fine under Enterprise 3. I could really use some 
advice on the DNS service under Enterprise 4.

Thanks,
Lisa Collins
