Hi,

newszilla6.xs4all.nl: connecting to port nntp...
warning: newszilla6.xs4all.nl: cannot resolve host name: Name exists in
DNS, but has no associated address ("A"-type DNS resource record).
newszilla6.xs4all.nl: connection failed.

Can you please send strace output? fetchnews is supposed to support IPv6 - that error message is slightly misleading, it actually indicates that the resolver didn't return any data.

Here's the relevant strace log:

And here's the relevant output of tcpdump when filtering for udp port
53:

(192.168.23.3 is the DNS server, 192.168.23.6 is the server leafnode is
running one, and .home is my home network's domain)
