[Dnsmasq-discuss] A and AAAA

[Schneidhuber, Bruno]

Hello!

(I hope, I don't duplicate this mail, but I made several unsuccessful
attempts.)
I have a IPv4-only-network, which is segmented in several subnets.
Each subnet has its own dnsmasq DNS-Server.
Each DNS-Server has the other DNS-Servers and a Internet-DNS-Server as
an upstream server.

If I make a query to the local DNS-Server for a computer name which is
in a different net-segment, I get the IPv4 answer from the responsible
DNS-Server.
But there are also some AAAA queries generated, which no DNS-Server
could answer. The negativ answer from the Internet-DNS-Server takes a
lot of time and so does the initial query.

I would like the query to return, if the first answer record (A or AAAA)
arrives.

A similar problem (an AAAA-Record was generated, even if the IPv4
address is in /etc/hosts) I could fix by myself in the source code, but
here I couldn't find the right place to make a change. Could someone
give me a hint what to change (or even provide a patch)?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
