Description Stefan Briesenick (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-06-10 13:33:08 UTC
well, since 2012-06-06 (IPv6 lauch day) there're many sites on dual-stack, which is really odd, if you're using only an IPv6-tunnel (such as SixXS). Youtube through such a tunnel is nearly unusable.

BIND has a special option (filter-aaaa-on-v4) to filter IPv6 answers from dual-stack (A+AAAA) records. But you have to enable this feature via --enable-filter-aaaa configure-option.

currently, there is no such option. So please add this (preferably via USE-flag, disabled by default). I know that this is an evil option, but currently, it's the only option to get both IPv6 and fast internet. :-/

IUSE="... filter-aaaa ..."
[..]
econf $(use_enable filter-aaaa)

should do the trick.

thanks in advance...


Reproducible: Always
