When I try to execute the same queries using "dig", I see the error message res_nsend: Protocol not supported Via various search engines, I've seen hints that the problem may have something to do with IPV6 but no instructions as to how to resolve it. Can anyone explain what's wrong and how to fix it? --Brett Glass
