So, fix ntpd, don't break the usage of DNS. Seriously, if ntpd doesn't try both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses for a given host then it would seem to be broken. As for broken or misconfigured OSs, when IPv6 has no route to host it should respond quickly, even on broken OSs like windows and Linux. NetBSD ships out of the box with IPv6 in the kernel, and as I remember from my pre-IPv6 days, it would fail in just that way, and applications would retry using IPv4. - --Michael -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) iD8DBQFGdVoluzMQWQwZDN0RAppYAJ9O7SYgukjr7CdwYxMgYQF48itBrACfUMiy BfWdLCptwgxfxP2y7xC1uao= =CDCM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
