Public bug reported: I like to known what's the way to disable DNS AAAA queries. Already have disabled all resources ipv6.
1. Changes in grub: vim /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="ipv6.disable=1" update-grub 2. I'm using 12.04 LTS version (builtin ipv6 support) grep -i ipv6 /boot/config-3.2.0-24-generic CONFIG_IPV6=y CONFIG_IPV6_PRIVACY=y ... Before this i try with sysctl, but tcp6 sockets still alive. After grub changes this solve the question - i can disable ipv6 address and networks sockets too. But, internal lookups stay wrong. Some sites like www.caixa.gov.br are slow. When i sniff my connection i can see many DNS AAAA records and server fail Running "lynx www.caixa.gov.br" 15:57:11.332463 IP 127.0.0.1.58734 > 127.0.0.1.53: 63741+ AAAA? www.caixa.gov.br.

(34) I do bind changes too vim /etc/default/bind9 RESOLVCONF=no OPTIONS="-4 -u bind" vim /etc/bind/named.conf.options forward only; forwarders { 208.67.222.222; 8.8.8.8; }; This dont solve AAAA requests. I like to known a way to prefer ipv4 queries (A) or disable ipv6 queries. When i'm using squid proxy the same problem occur. To solve this i need compile squid with --disable-ipv6. This works to Squid proxy, but i think that the best way is disable all DNS AAAA queries. This occur with lynx, wget and others. ** Affects: bind9 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bind9 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1092691 Title: A way to disable AAAA lookups in the resolver (again) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/1092691/+subscriptions -- 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
