This is not Gentoo specific. Please contact the upstream developer of the IPv6 patch, Felix von Leitner: http://www.fefe.de/dns/ could someone formally involved with gentoo please try? i already contacted Felix prior to submitting this bug report and i don't think he believes me. if upstream won't do anything, what do we do? reopening b/c upstream is non-responsive my apologies, i have too many systems with divergent configurations :) the solution is to set $IP to ::1 when running dnscache. dnsqr & family happily default to connecting to ::1 when /etc/resolv.conf is absent, while other programs like ping and telnet use 127.0.0.1 when /etc/resolv.conf is absent, so it becomes necessary to explicitly choose one or the other as nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf, and set $IP to match. |
