Public bug reported: Binary package hint: fping
I'm running a mixed IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack environment. fping seems to work fine for ipv4 only hosts, and fping6 seems to work fine for ipv6 only hosts, but when a host can be found via both, it seems that fping fails for one or the other: r...@spooky:~# host firewall firewall has address 192.168.1.1 firewall has IPv6 address fe80::2b0:c2af:fa6e:1ee8 r...@spooky:~# fping firewall firewall is unreachable r...@spooky:~# fping 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.1 is alive r...@spooky:~# fping6 fe80::2b0:c2af:fa6e:1ee8 fe80::2b0:c2af:fa6e:1ee8 is alive r...@spooky:~# fping6 firewall firewall is alive As you can see, in this example all the fpings worked except for the v4 fping based on dns lookup. It certainly appears that it's getting confused by DNS returning a AAAA record for the host in question. ** Affects: fping (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- fping broken in mixed ipv4/ipv6 environment https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/489860 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
