[Bug 1010724] Re: No IPv6 nameservers in Ubuntu 12.04

[strainu]

I feel that I should elaborate. The final behavior that I'm looking for
is to have a DNS server with IPv6 address active in my system. This
means that an IPv6 address should be placed in /etc/resolv.conf. This
can happen in a number of ways:

* the user adds one manually (through resolvconf or Network Manager) - OK as a temporary solution, but does not scale well
* the dnsmasq server used by Ubuntu listens on IPv6 as well and the line "nameserver=::1" is added in /etc/resolv.conf - looks like the simplest solution to me
* the dnsmasq server used by Ubuntu does _not listen on IPv6_, and then the IPv6 server received by DHCPv6 (available in /run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf) is used in /etc/resolv.conf - this solution might need further changes in resolvconf and breaks the behavior designed in [1] for IPv6-only clients

Title:
  No IPv6 nameservers in Ubuntu 12.04

Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have IPv6 activated on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I receive an IPv6
  address through DHCPv6. However, requests sent through IPv6 fail. For
  example:

  strainu at emily:~$ dig aaaa -6 google.com

  ; <<>> DiG 9.8.1-P1 <<>> aaaa -6 google.com
  ;; global options: +cmd
  ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

  But:

  strainu at emily:~$ dig aaaa google.com

  ; <<>> DiG 9.8.1-P1 <<>> aaaa google.com
  ;; global options: +cmd
  ;; Got answer:
  ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 60426
  ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 4, ADDITIONAL: 4

  ;; QUESTION SECTION:
  ;google.com.			IN	AAAA

  ;; ANSWER SECTION:
  google.com.		94	IN	AAAA	2a00:1450:400d:805::1000

  
  Looking into /etc/resolv.conf, I see:

  strainu at emily:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf 
  # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
  #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
  nameserver 127.0.0.1
  search lan

  And with netstat:

  strainu at emily:~$ netstat -ln
  Active Internet connections (only servers)
  Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State

  tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:631           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     
  tcp6       0      0 ::1:631                 :::*                    LISTEN     
  udp        0      0 127.0.0.1:53            0.0.0.0:*                          
  udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:68              0.0.0.0:*                          
  udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5353            0.0.0.0:*                          
  udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:38399           0.0.0.0:*                          
  udp6       0      0 :::47973                :::*                               
  udp6       0      0 :::5353                 :::*          

  Apparently, the local dnsmasq server does not listen on IPv6, which is
  wrong. The server should also listen on ::1:53, to allow IPv6-only
  connections. Alternatively, the resolvconf package should write the
  actual DNS server received through DHCPv6 in /etc/resolv.conf
