Description Thomas Aho 2010-01-02 10:00:33 UTC 
Created attachment 334710 [details]
A log from Wireshark, which shows the two DNS queries and answers.

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 Firefox/3.5.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

When a DNS query is made by for example starting an ftp-session, or opening a page in a browser, SuSE makes two DNS queries to the DNS server. In Wireshark these queries appear as:
"Standard query A ftp.suse.de"
and
"Standard query AAAA ftp.suse.de".

If the DNS only gives an answer to the A-query, but not to the AAAA-query, then the operation fails.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a router which does not support DNS AAAA queries.
Actual Results:  
The problem appears already when doing the installation, as SuSE is not able to contact the download-server.

Expected Results:  
Since a valid DNS answer arrives, SuSE should use this.
