Description

In VyOS 1.3:

set system static-host-mapping host-name myhost1 inet 10.0.0.1
set system static-host-mapping host-name myhost2 inet 2001:db8:abcd:10::1

$ host myhost1
myhost1 has address 10.0.0.1

$ host myhost2
host myhost2 not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Hopefully the problem is something simple to fix?

Thanks

Event Timeline

Is anyone else seeing this same problem? It is keeping me from being able to use VyOS in an IPv6-only environment.

After doing some research, it appears this is a known bug in PowerDNS Recursor 4.7 (amazing to me).

https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns/pull/11682

It is now merged into PDNS master branch so I assume it will be deployed on the next PDNS 4.8 release.

I guess I'll have to wait until then to request to merge it in to VyOS or can the current master version of PDNS be brought in to VyOS????

@dsummers I strongly believe we should not publish bleeding edge HEAD revisions and stick bleeding edge releases only.

If it helps in your case - you could upgrade the PDNS package on your router to the master revision.

wget https://repo.powerdns.com/debian/pool/main/p/pdns-recursor/pdns-recursor_4.8.0~alpha0%2Bmaster.450.g32924d802-1pdns.bullseye_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i pdns*.deb

As soon as PDNS 4.8 is released I see no reason not to upgrade. We currently use PDNS 4.5 - maybe an upgrade to 4.7 would also do the trick and request a backport from the maintainers?

I downloaded

https://repo.powerdns.com/debian/pool/main/p/pdns-recursor/pdns-recursor_4.8.0~alpha0%2Bmaster.452.gc88709197-1pdns.buster_amd64.deb

and did "systemctl restart pdns-recursor" and now it works!

Thank for the work around!

Obviously, please keep this issue open until the PDNS 4.8.0 is released and get that into the Equuleus build.
