Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.6.ds1-13 Severity: normal Hi,
In some cases the resolver prefers IPv4 to IPv6. This happens when: - the A-RR is a RFC 1918 Address - there is a more specific route for this address Example: $ ip route list table all 192.168.17.1 local 192.168.17.1 dev lo table 255 proto kernel scope host src 192.168.17.1 $ host -t any test1.libc6test.swapon.de test1.libc6test.swapon.de has IPv6 address 2001:6f8:12ec::1 test1.libc6test.swapon.de has address 10.10.10.10 $ host -t any test2.libc6test.swapon.de test2.libc6test.swapon.de has IPv6 address 2001:6f8:12ec::1 test2.libc6test.swapon.de has address 192.168.17.1 $ host -t any test3.libc6test.swapon.de test3.libc6test.swapon.de has IPv6 address 2001:6f8:12ec::1 test3.libc6test.swapon.de has address 81.169.139.143 $ telnet test1.libc6test.swapon.de Trying 2001:6f8:12ec::1...
