Hi.

I'm experiencing some issues with dig(1) and subdomains in the info TLD.

   $ dig +trace foobar.info

(handy domain for the sake of this test ;-) )  The trace prints the root
and info servers and then it stops, waits for something like 30 seconds,
then ends with the following message ";; connection timed out; no servers
could be reached".

  $ dig +tcp +trace foobar.info
  ...
  ;; Connection to 2001:500:1c::1#53(D0.INFO.AFILIAS-NST.ORG) for foobar.
  info failed: host unreachable.
  ... (same for 5 more servers)

It seems to me it is only trying the IPv6 servers, which is not going to
work as I'm on a IPv4 network.  Have I misconfigured something or is this
just how it's supposed to be?

  $ dig -4 +trace foobar.info

works as expected.

Anyone care to enlighten me?

Thanks.

Thomas
