I am a little foggy on the details of how this is done. Could you
explain the steps I need to take.
Sorry I wasn't clear. That was just a list of the reasons why the
method Eliezer outlined is better.

Thanks

Amos, is there a way to tell Squid to stop asking for AAAA
records/IPv6?
We are having problems with other sites not working in the same
way.

The answer is to disable IPV6 on squid and on the linux machine and

Correct. If you have IPv6 _properly_ disabled in the OS. Such that
applications attempting to open IPv6 sockets for use get denied.
Squid
3.1.10+ will pick that up next restart and not try to perform IPv6
again
until next restart.
There is the small matter of a lot of garbage tutorials about how to
disable
IPv6 in the OS though. It has to be done in a way where a program
opening a
IPv6 socket gets an error message back.
ÂNot letting the app open and use the socket, (spewing errors out
all over
the place) or to hanging (frowning mostly at some RHEL user blogs
there).
Re-building Squid with --disable-ipv6 is another more extreme
option.
do you have a local DNS server on the machine for caching and
forwarding?
you can setup on the squid to use the local dns server and on the
dns
server setup specific forwarding zone for this domain NS
this will result a much more efficient way to get it done and to
make
your system more reliable by any case.
I recommend this way.
Â* Site-specific to allow access to all the working v6-only sites
(1% of the
Internet now).
Â* Easily reversible once the site starts working.
Best best way is to get the site fixed ASAP. From the other post by
Rick
from Carfax it looks like they are on the issue now.
