[Dnsmasq-discuss] AAAA Records delivery?

[Modem Man]

Hi,

didn't found anything at the Kellys Web Site, so I hope you have the
same issue...

- My hardware is a Linksys NSLU2
- My OS is Linux "OpenSLUG 5.3/LE" + optware + dnsmasq (2.47-r0 via opkg)
- So I have *no* IPv6 stack on the NSLU2
- my (Windows XP as well as Debian Squeeze) PCs are querying a DNS name
which only has IPv6 "AAAA" record (I know, it only has a IPv6 record, it
is: "v6.testmyipv6.com" )

=> Problem: dnsmasq answers with NX record

Is this intentional? The AAAA content of DNS record is - for my
understanding - also included in IPv4 based queries. So I expect the
NSLU2/dnsmasq will ask the ISP's DNS server, get an answer and deliver
it to my PC, regardless of "A" or "AAAA" content. The PC then can decide
if using AAAA or A record. So, there is no need to have IPv6 kernel
module in NSLU2, or am I wrong?
Or is my dnsmasq 2.47-r0 from optware feed somehow stripped down to only
IPv4? Where can I see this?

unsure,
Modem Man
