X-BeenThere: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Production branch of FreeBSD source code List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2007 20:56:25 -0000 When looking in the querylog for BIND 9.3.1 running on FreeBSD 5.4, almost every other log entry specifies an AAAA query. The only client is localhost. I see no reason right now to have BIND wasting resources on IPv6 requests, so I added named_flags="-4" to rc.conf and restarted named. Sockstat tells me named is listening only on udp4 and tcp4, but I still get lots of AAAA entries in the querylog: 12-Sep-2007 21:40:47.129 client 127.0.0.1#60103: query: smtp.secureserver.net IN AAAA + 12-Sep-2007 21:40:47.648 client 127.0.0.1#64489: query: smtp.where.secureserver.net IN AAAA + 12-Sep-2007 21:40:47.847 client 127.0.0.1#61673: query: smtp.secureserver.net IN A + 12-Sep-2007 21:40:47.869 client 127.0.0.1#53040: query: mailstore1.secureserver.net IN AAAA + 12-Sep-2007 21:40:47.871 client 127.0.0.1#54473: query: mailstore1.secureserver.net IN A + 12-Sep-2007 21:40:58.261 client 127.0.0.1#58124: query: 120.86.248.87.in-addr.arpa IN PTR + 12-Sep-2007 21:40:58.340 client 127.0.0.1#56511: query: static-ip-87-248-86-120.promax.media.pl IN AAAA + 12-Sep-2007 21:40:58.410 client 127.0.0.1#61212: query: static-ip-87-248-86-120.promax.media.pl IN A + What can I do to get rid of these? -- Andreas
