[Bug 510587] Re: Bind/named does not initialize on boot due to missing IPv6 address

[Giuseppe Ravasio]

I was having the same problem on a new dns server (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) but not on an old one (Ubuntu 10.04LTS).
I noticed that the two /etc/network/interface had a different order for iface lines and moving inet6 before ipv4 ipaliases solved the problem.

### WORKING ONE ###
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 93.xxxxx
        netmask 255.255.254.0
        network 93.xxxxxx
        broadcast 93.xxxxxx
iface eth0 inet6 static
        address 2a01:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        netmask 64
        gateway 2a01:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        up ip -6 addr add 2a01:xxxxxxxxxxxxx/64 dev eth0
auto eth0:NS1
iface eth0:NS1  inet static
        address 93.xxxxxx
        netmask 255.255.254.0
######### END ##############

### BROKEN ONE ###

        address 93.xxxxx
        netmask 255.255.254.0

        broadcast 93.xxxxxx
auto eth0:NS1
iface eth0:NS1  inet static
        address 93.xxxxxx
        netmask 255.255.254.0

iface eth0 inet6 static
        address 2a01:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        netmask 64
        gateway 2a01:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        up ip -6 addr add 2a01:xxxxxxxxxxxxx/64 dev eth0
