Hi *,

 

We were trying to use nss-mdns to support mdns query from the applications. We want to use "enable-legacy" option which has the mini MDNS stack.  But in this mode nss-mdns supports resolving IPv6 addresses but does so via IPv4 multicasts only. Is there any reason why this is not supported on IPV6 packets.

 

Please do comment.

 

Regards,

Dev

IPv6 support was simply not coded into nss-mdns originally.

Since it was later replaced by the functionality to use Avahi - it is now deprecated and has not received any further work.  Using the avahi backend is the recommended method for full support.
