Info required on IPv4 only DIG utility ...

[Gajanana Dixit]

Hi Holger,

Thanks for your reply.

My requirement is slightly different. I have the underlying socket library
which doesn't understands the new IPv6 calls like getaddrinfo() etc, but
which understands the only calls to gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr() etc.
If I run this DIG utility ( with mentioned switch) on the system where the
new DNS is running, I will get an unresolved call references to
getaddrinfo() and other calls.

Do let me know if any other previous DIG utility overcomes this problem.
 

Thanks & Regards
Gajanana Dixit

Hi Gajanana,

just use it with the switch -4 (see man-page):

NAME
       dig - DNS lookup utility

SYNOPSIS
       dig  [ @server ]  [ -b address ]  [ -c class ]  [ -f filename ]  
[ -k file­
       name ]  [ -p port# ]  [ -t type ]  [ -x addr ]  [ -y name:key ]  
[ -4 ]   [
       -6 ]  [ name ]  [ type ]  [ class ]  [ queryopt... ]

[snip]

       The -4 option forces dig to only use IPv4 query transport.  The  
-6  option
       forces dig to only use IPv6 query transport.

Regards

Holger
