I'm on a Solaris-9 box. If I use nslookup or dig, I can resolve IPv6
hostnames:
--------------------------------------------------------
fusion:clsapi$ nslookup -type=aaaa 6bone.net.
Server: zeus.smarts.com
Address: 10.1.0.220
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: 6bone.net
Address: 2001:5c0:0:2::24
--------------------------------------------------------
but ping won't resolve the same name:
--------------------------------------------------------
fusion:clsapi$ ping -A inet6 6bone.net.
ping: unknown IPv6 host 6bone.net.
--------------------------------------------------------
Likewise, I wrote a little C program which uses getipnodebyname(), and
it, too, reports HOST_NOT_FOUND when I try to resolve 6bone.net.
My guess is that nslookup and dig get directly at the DNS layer, while
getipnodebyname() (and the command-line ping) are working at Sun's NSL
layer, which is probably mis-configured for IPv6. Unfortunately, I
don't know enough about NSL to 1) be sure my guess is correct or 2),
know how to fix the problem. Can anybody help with either or both of
those?
