[Bug 504963] [NEW] [Karmic] host -4 does IPv6 lookup -- times out
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: bind9 When using 'host' to do a dns lookup on Karmic, I get a fast initial response for the IPv4 lookup: m...@purple:~$ host www.google.com www.google.com is an alias for www.l.google.com. www.l.google.com has address 74.125.77.99 www.l.google.com has address 74.125.77.147 www.l.google.com has address 74.125.77.104 but then a long wait and a timeout on IPv6: ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached I guess this is because my home network router/DNS cache does not support IPv6. This timeout for host lookups with 'host' is not such a problem, but also seems to affect firefox (fixable with a setting) and ssh logins to remote machines. Why does the host command look for a IPv6 address after It gets a good IPv4 response? I tried forcing only IPv4 lookup with 'host -4', but the result is the same: m...@purple:~$ host -4 www.google.com www.google.com is an alias for www.l.google.com. www.l.google.com has address 74.125.77.147 www.l.google.com has address 74.125.77.104 www.l.google.com has address 74.125.77.99 ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached Is that behaviour intended? Is there really no way to gracefully ignore IPv6 when the local network does not support it? I am not the only one to run into this problem.

Re: [Bug 504963] Re: [Karmic] host -4 does IPv6 lookup -- times out
Yes, the DNS server in my DSL modem does not support IPv6 (A requests ?). I am wondering why 'host' does a IPv6 (AA) lookup after receiving a valid response on IPv4 (AAA request). I try looking into the debug printouts, but did not learn much. I can post the debug-output if it is helpful. Marco.

[Bug 504963] Re: [Karmic] host -4 does IPv6 lookup -- times out
Hi Chuck, Attached the debug printout from host -D. The first two files host_before_wait.log and host_all.log are from just running 'host -D www.google.com, while the file host_minus4*.log are from running host -D -4 www.google.com. In each case, the 'before_wait' file is the log up to the moment that the program gets temporarily stuck; it waits about half a second and then later once or twice more. Each time just after printing: unlock_lookup dighost.c:2145 the full log is in the *all.log files. Hope this is useful. Let me know if you need more info.

A similar issue is discussed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/417757 but I think that's about a different DNS resolver. E.g. in Firefox you can switch off ipv6 lookups and the delay is gone. Also note the comment in that thread: The 5 second lag occurs with the Livebox (used by Orange, 12 million broadband internet customers in Europe). Looks like I'm one of the lucky 12 million :) -- [Karmic] host -4 does IPv6 lookup -- times out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/504963 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bind9 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

I've also exprienced this problem, although for a different reason. The problem seems to have been fixed in recent versions (3.3.x) of samba. See: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6090 I tested removing dangling symlinks using Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) as a server and that seems to work. As far as I understand, that should mean that moving them also works. As an aside: I am interested in this issue because I would like to pam_mount homedirs using cifs. firefox creates a lock file that is a dangling symlink. If the lock file cannot be removed, firefox cannot be started... ** Bug watch added: Samba Bugzilla #6090 https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6090 -- cifs mounts: unable to move dangling symlinks (case of svn ceckout with symlinks) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Re: [Bug 460581] Re: [Karmic] host lookup error
Do you maybe have any further suggestions for how to debug this? Something must be interfering with those lookups. The effect is new in Karmic, so would be nice to figure out what it is. What is the difference between the first lookup that 'host' does and the second? It seems that something is blocking the corresponding network traffic. II have no firewall, so that can't be it. I looked at various log-files in /var/log, but the only suspicious thing I see are a lot of messages from wpa_supplicant. Is there something I can do to verify whether this is related? My network is wireless with simple WEP-authentication, so maybe wpa_supplicant is not needed? If so, why has it been started? Best regards, Marco.
