Package: mirrors Severity: important Tags: ipv6
Good evening, we were just trying to install & update a cluster of Debian VMs, when we were hit by the same bug that was reported by Jens Link in bug #961296 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=961296). I am a bit puzzled on what to do here, as the machines are in an IPv6 only environment that does not have any access to the IPv4 world. We are encountering more and more IPv6 only networks as it is not feasible to use dual stack in these islands anymore, because they are routing wise far from any IPv4 networks. Is it possible for us to sponsor/help/provide IPv6 DNS servers (and/or maintenance of them) for the Debian project to fix this problem? We could probably setup a DNS mirror that does AXFR/IXFR from the Debian.org DNS servers and thus easily enable anyone else in IPv6 only servers. What do you think, is that a possibility to move forward? I think it would be almost zero effort from the Debian team, as it means only setting up an AAAA record for the DNS servers. I assume that Jens would also be in for maintenance, if you would like to have more than one party maintaining the DNS mirrors, as it scratches his itch, too.
