Description Valdis Kletnieks 2008-10-31 20:55:51 UTC

Description of problem:
I have a mix of ipv4 and ipv6 DNS servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf:
% grep -v '^#' /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 2001:468:c80:2101:0:100:0:22
nameserver 2001:468:c80:6101:0:100:0:62
nameserver 198.82.247.66
nameserver 198.82.247.34
nameserver 198.82.247.98

Using 'host -4' fails:
% host -4 listserv.vt.edu
host: couldn't get address for '2001:468:c80:2101:0:100:0:22': address family not supported

Even though the actual target exists:
% host -6 listserv.vt.edu
listserv.vt.edu has address 198.82.161.192
listserv.vt.edu has IPv6 address 2001:468:c80:2105:211:43ff:feda:d769
listserv.vt.edu mail is handled by 0 smtp.vt.edu.

'host -4' *should* have gone ahead and tried the 3 listed IPv4 servers.
