IPv4 blocks IPv6 dns lookups

http://askubuntu.com – I'm using a IPv4 + IPv6 on a server (#1). Sometimes the IPv4 address is mapped to another server (#2), so #1 isn't accessible via IPv4, but remains accessible via IPv6. In this case IPv6 dns lookups won't work. $ ping6 mirror.ipv6.hetzner.de unknown host If I disable the IPv4 address everything works fine. $ ping6 mirror.ipv6.hetzner.de PING mirror.ipv6.hetzner.de(2a01:4f8:0:a101::1:1) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 2a01:4f8:0:a101::1:1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=60 time=0.469 ms How is this possible? The IPv6 network should serve as a fallback if the IPv4 address is mapped to another server. But if (HowTos)

Stories similar to IPv4 blocks IPv6 dns lookups

i'm trying to setup xen on a hetzner server, my dom0 has one ipv4 adress and a ipv6 subnet, i assigned every vm a different ipv6 address but i can't get ipv4 traffic to work.

i configured a network bridge br0 which has the ipv4 and a ipv6 ip from the server.

my dom0 interface:

auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual auto br0 iface br0 inet static address 144.### broadcast 144.### netmask 2

I have setup an Nginx server in a machine which have both ipv4 and ipv6 addresses. Currently, its connected to CloudFlare and only use ipv4. I have 1 ipv4 address assigned to the web server.

Now what I want is, to become fully ipv6. Then connect to CloudFlare. So, if an ipv4 user comes to the site, CloudFlare will make sure that he can visit my ipv6 only site!

IPv4 IPs getting rare and more expensive and I wonder if it is possible to switch our web servers completely to IPv6. I know it is advised to use IPv4 and IPv6 but I still would like to know:

Is there any way to make multiple IPv6 web servers reachable using only one IPv4 address?

What problems would we face concerning for example HTTPS?

On my Linux box, I have various daemons which can bind to all IPv6-enabled interfaces on ::. When they do so, Linux sends IPv4 requests to that daemon mapped as, for instance, ::ffff:198.51.100.37.

I would instead like IPv4 connections to be refused and only IPv6 connections accepted when a daemon binds to ::.

Is there any way for IPv6-unaware applications to continue to work on a host with only IPv6 connectivity?

The IPv4 implementation of the host could know about the problem and just encapsulate the IPv4 address in the IPv6 header (like 0::ffff:[ipv4]?), but where are these pakets then translated to real IPv4 packets?

Do current operating systems provide that kind of functionality to IPv4-only appl

hi guys, I have a problem about ipv6 on F17. My network support ipv6. I add Code: NETWORKING_IPV6=yes to /etc/sysconfig/network. I use Network-Manager to access network.

After I connect the system to network, I can go to ipv6 sites and use transmission to download via ipv6.

I am trying to implement dual stack for IPv6 support in a IPv4 system. I have configured a DHCP server which gives IPv4 and IPv6 address to the device.

My PC and the VM running on it gets both, IPv6 and IPv4 addresses. The embedded system I am working on needs the dhcpcd command to get IP address.

I've a tunnel broker from he.net associate with a IPV6 /64 subnet

As a newby to ipv6, i've just discovered that its not reliable to only set a subdomain to a AAAA entry : because most of ISP will not be able to reach it

Considering i got 3 vm, each with ipv6 ip , i would like to know if there any way to set up my dns to handle that ?

I only got one IPV4 which is binded on the firewall

maybe t
