It seems that ip6.int, as used by glibc for IPv6 reverse DNS, is dead. I see long delays in waiting for IPv6 reverse DNS. My 'fix' on FC2 boxes so far has been to upgrade to glibc-2.3.3-43 and add 'options no-ip6-dotint' to /etc/resolv.conf. That's a partially successful workaround but it doesn't seem to work where the resolv.conf is created by pppd or by dhclient -- the options seem to go missing then. Should we change glibc's default, and ship an erratum for FC2? Or is there a better answer? -- dwmw2
