I want to like IPv6. I do. But I'm seriously considering turning off =
IPv6 support from our servers.
First off, I'm using djbdns internally and it doesn't support AAAA =
records. So we really aren't using it internally.
But today I noticed that we have a lot of traffic to our DNS cache, and =
started to investigate. Turns out that every DNS request would start =
with one for the AAAA record. Ah, no luck. Maybe you forgot the search =
domain? Let's retry that DNS request with that tacked on. Failed again? =
Meanwhile, lets simultaneously try for the AA record then. Repeat.
I'm _this_ close to turning IPv6 off entirely. Anyone want to talk me =
off this ledge?
