[Pdns-users] pdns_recursor: "forward-zones" to a IPv6-Server

[Stefan Hellermann]

Hello,

I'm trying to a forward a zone to a IPv6-only Server, but this doesn't work, pdns_recursor
doesn't recognize the IPv6-address.

# pdns_recursor --daemon=no --forward-zones=test=[abcd::1]

May 14 22:43:05 Redirecting queries for zone 'test.' to: STL Exception: bad lexical cast:

this doesn't work with "forward-zones-file", too:
May 14 22:44:11 Reading zone forwarding information from '/etc/powerdns/forward_zones'
May 14 22:44:11 Exception: Conversion error parsing line 1 of /etc/powerdns/forward_zones


With IPv4 everything works fine!

Thanks,
Stefan
