Hi there Weird - several times in the past couple of months I have found I cannot get to http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ - I get the error below from my squid-3.5.11 server which does not have a Global ipv6 address (it has a Local ipv6/fe80: on the Ethernet card - but nothing else). Google.com (which is fully ipv6 capable) works fine - so far only wiki.squid-cache.org has shown up this way to me (ie I don't see this error message. On the squid server, "dig a" shows valid ipv4 addresses and "dig aaaa" shows the ipv6 address - but why is squid even trying to connect over ipv6 If doesn't have an ipv6 address? Could this be a case of the "A" record failing to return fast enough, forcing squid to only try ipv6 - which then leads to the error message referring to the ipv6 address? This error message may be correct, but is very confusing to anyone who knows they are only running ipv4: maybe squid should know how to differentiate between locally routable and globally routable ipv6 addresses and basically disable ipv6 if there is no Global route? Obviously I could recompile squid without ipv6 support, but Amos has made it clear that is "the wrong way" - so how else could that be done (as adding ipv6 support to an entire network is not an option either - if it was I wouldn't be sending this email! :-) As an aside - I've seen this several times and yet only with wiki.squid-cache.org - perhaps there's a performance issue/bug with one of the associated DNS servers there? The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidAcl Connection to 2001:4b78:2003::1 failed. The system returned: (101) Network is unreachable The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.
