> but it will bypass resolved completely

In my resolv.conf I have now both 127.0.0.53 and the upstream dns each
in their own "nameserver"-line. Just as in comment #17, but in the
meantime I added domain and search lines.


> you want to telnet to your local host?

I really wanted to demonstrate what happens if I attempt to connect to a
bare link local inet6 address as returned by systemd-resolved in the
situation where it falls back to resolving $(hostname) using info from
local network devices.  "telnet" is just a simple tool to connect to
tcp/ip endpoints, in case you didn't know, a bit like netcat, but more
generally available ;-)

Good to know so early in the thread...

Title:
  systemd resolves own hostname to link local ipv6 address

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I've got an ethernet-device that only has a configured ipv4 address,
  and some auto-generated link-local (aka "scope link") ipv6 address.

  Any tool doing a DNS query (and /lib/systemd/systemd-resolved is the
  DNS-server listening on 127.0.0.53) for this host's hostname gets back
  two addresses: the correct ipv4 address, and a broken ipv6 address.

  Unlike on ipv4,  it is possible for the same ipv6-address to be
  assigned to multiple devices, and therefore the address is only valid
  in the context of the eth-device.

  Now, if "ifconfig" shows "inet6 fe80::4687:fcff:fe9e:4ac7  prefixlen 64  
scopeid 0x20<link>"
  then "fe80::4687:fcff:fe9e:4ac7" is NOT a connectable address, and syscall 
connect() typically fails with EINVAL.

  To make it a valid address, it needs to be suffixed with a "%" and the device 
name, like:
  fe80::4687:fcff:fe9e:4ac7%enp4s0

  Either the resolver can return the link name attached to the address
  separated with a "%" char, or it needs to ignore link-local inet6
  addresses.
