Sorry to keep babbling on about this, its been 3 days of non stop trying to
figure this out. I am convinced this is a bug in the core of OS X. I think
it has something to do with IPv6 and not being able to turn it off. Even
with it turned off, some posts I found on google lead me to believe that it
still is on.
I am not sure what this AAAA record is all about, but the recent change at
the root servers to start using this mechanism seems to be the source of the
trouble, though indirectly.
If I enter in:
nserver2.apple.com. 319383 IN A 17.254.0.59
Into my tcp/ip settings, I also get the failure, these are apples's NS's, I
have to imagine every apple employee on the web is currently having trouble
resolving hostnames. Hopefully this gets apple to get a patch out soon. I
suspect from what I have heard the trouble is in the BSD subsystem, so not
sure how that patch works anyway.
If there was some way to tell named to start in some legacy mode to not
bother with these new AAAA records, that may prove to fix it, hopefully the
men and mice folks know how to make that happen.
If that does not do it, I guess it will be time for a 1U Linux server to
take over the task of my DNS, though I sure would love to not have to go
that road, never touched Linux before. In case I do have to go that road,
can someone recommend a good 1U server for me, it will only run DNS, so
whatever is most cost effective. Also, what flavor of Linux should I put on
it?
