Some pre-configuration script in some package at some point added that crap without asking if I wanted IPv6 support, it would appear.I didn't get a chance to dig (boooo... bad pun... dig...) further to see if I needed to do a root server update file for that machine, since it is running it's own copy of BIND as a resolver for itself... or whether I could kill the bad DNS behaviour by ifdown'ing the IPv6 junk on the interfaces...Nate
Hmm looking futher... (man I need to go to bed), this probably isn't the problem. I can ping the a.gtld-servers.net machine, but can't do any GTLD lookups off of it with dig.
Odd.Probably missed some announcement somewhere where someone thought it was a good idea to break that.
Oh well, I no longer run DNS servers for an ISP so I don't even bother keeping up with all the fun and games of the roots these days...
