inetproeish!16:44
inetprohow can I make Ubuntu Trusty stop doing lookups of AAAA records when doing DNS queries?16:44
theblazeheninetpro: Do you have an IPv6 address? WHy do you need to stop the lookup?16:45
* inetpro noticed this strange behaviour starting with Ubuntu 12.0416:46
inetproI always disable IPv6 because we our network does not support it on the WAN16:46
inetproif I do a name lookup with 'host google.com' while watching 'tcpdump -ne dst port 53' I see three lookups:16:47
inetproA? google.com., AAAA? google.com. and MX? google.com. 16:47
inetpronot a major train smash but just wondering why and how I could disable it16:48
inetpros/we our/our/16:49
inetprorelated bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/109269116:50
theblazehenIt shouldn't be a problem unless your computer tries to access it via IPv6 however? Hvae you tested, perhaps eg. firefox will only lookup only the A record? Might be 'host' itself doing the multiple queries?16:52
inetprohaven't noticed any performance issues because of it... just picked it up when monitoring DNS queries on one of our web servers 16:54
inetprooh and that still being on Ubuntu 12.0416:55
theblazehenIf it's just the lookup, then it shouldn't have any impact. Or am I missing something?16:55
theblazehenWell, 12.04 is LTS16:56
inetproand after a bit of research still see the same behaviour on 14.0416:56
inetprowell yes it is just a lookup but is it really necessary?16:56
theblazeheninetpro: Shouldn't be, just thinking that there's probably other areas that are also inefficient16:57
inetprotrue16:57
theblazehenSame behaviour on Arch16:58
inetproanother debate around the same issue: http://serverfault.com/questions/632665/how-to-disable-aaaa-lookups17:00
inetproat least we do not have 70 million name resolutions like others have17:03
theblazehenYeah, have you considered using dnsmasq or something for DNS caching?17:04
Audioburnhello17:04
