--- Begin Message ---Package: eglibc Version: 2.13-38+deb7u7 When setting a Postfix server for outgoing mail using a very simple configuration, I had issues resolving MX entries on the postfix logs like : Feb 3 20:11:06 londo postfix/smtp[4288]: 3CB504BE8: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=0.06, delays=0.04/0.01/0/0, dsn=4.4.3, status=deferred (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=bar.com type=MX: Host not found, try again). This resolving issue was random (About one of the two tests) The configuration in /etc/resolv.conf was the following : nameserver <IPV6 resolver> nameserver <IPV4 resolver> nameserver <IPV4 resolver> options timeout:1 attempts:3 rotate The three resolvers are OK : I queried them independently and they answer perfectly so it's not a resolver issue. After lots of investigations, I isolated the following behaviour : There is no resolving issue when removing the rotate option OR when putting the IPV6 resolver after the IPV4 ones. Browsing on the Web, a chat partner (Thanks Stephane) found this bug on Redhat/Fedora distributions : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=841787 which seems to be similar to my bug. A patch has been applied to the Fedora / RH distributions. This patch is described here: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/glibc.git/tree/glibc-rh841787.patch?h=f17. I updated the patch for the eglibc since a part of the patch was already into the debian patches series (any/submitted-resolv-init.diff) and recompiled a package. After installation, it seems that the issue was solved : The DNS resolution was 100 % OK. I send the patch as attachement. (I'm not a low level C developper so i hope this patch is not too ugly) Thanks !

Indeed, you are correct, a fix for that went into glibc 2.19-2. Closing the bug accordingly: * debian/patches/any/submitted-resolv-ipv6-nameservers.diff: new patch to fix resolving issues when using IPv6 nameservers in resolv.conf.
