Bug#435646: marked as done (libc6: resolver considers IPv6 enabled when any IPv6 address is configured)
Your message dated Mon, 27 Apr 2009 05:32:25 + with message-id e1lyjs5-at...@ries.debian.org and subject line Bug#435646: fixed in glibc 2.9-8 has caused the Debian Bug report #435646, regarding libc6: resolver considers IPv6 enabled when any IPv6 address is configured to be marked as done. This means that you claim that the problem has been dealt with. If this is not the case it is now your responsibility to reopen the Bug report if necessary, and/or fix the problem forthwith.

Since Debian enables IPv6 by default, most users will have a system with an IPv6 address on the loopback interface (as well as a link-local address on each other interface) which will cause the current code to commence lookups for records, only falling back to requesting A records when these fail or timeout. The patch here: http://err.no/patches/glibc-only-lookup-ipv6-if-it-makes-sense.diff seems to take a reasonable approach, since it will not be possible to connect to IPv6 addresses without a globally scoped address (plus routing :-) in any case. This is an important issue because some users are so inconvenienced as to be behind broken DNS infrastructure which ignores requests, resulting in frequent timeouts with much confusion and frustration.

Bug#268631: force preference of IPv4 over IPv6
There are excellent reasons why IPv6 is preferred to IPv4 by default, and this is not going to change. I'm very interested in this! What are the reasons? The basic idea is that we want to make sure that either there's no IPv6 at all, or IPv6 works fine. This is important, since it's easy to write software that detects and works around the lack of IPv6, but it's next to impossible to write software that will reliably detect broken IPv6. By preferring IPv6 to IPv4, we make sure that broken IPv6 is something that people notice, and hence we have a good chance that there won't be to many broken IPv6 deployments. If IPv4 were preferred to IPv6, then people could add RAs to their network even though their IPv6 routing is broken -- most clients wouldn't notice, they'd just continue using IPv4. Now your particular deployment of IPv6 doesn't fit the ``IPv6 at least as good as IPv4'' model that we are promoting; hence, you need to hack your gai.conf files. Which is fine -- what you do on your private network is your private business. What is not okay is suggesting that Debian change the default, and break a deployment model that the networking community has agreed on -- if you don't agree with a stan- dard, you work on getting it revised, you don't just change your distribution unilaterally. By the way, this is a somewhat unsatisfactory solution: manually hacking /etc/gai.conf doesn't scale. The networking community is aware of that, and are working on a solution -- see RFC 5220 and 5221.
