>What's going on here? You told me everything except what you typed on the command line. :) I'm guessing that you typed a name and not a number, so the application looked it up and found multiple records. The application can also set a hint as to what address family to return. The default is in /etc/resolv.conf. If a query returns multiple records, the application must walk through the list and use the right one. I found this out a couple years ago when I was working on xinetd's IPv6 code. While dns queries may work OK, the applications may be broken as Joe suggested. I use IPv6 pretty regular and haven't noticed problems. I'll play with it some more, too. -Steve Grubb _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! http://vote.yahoo.com
