Does anyone use nsd on an UltraSparc?

Because it fails for me. See Debian bug #279277 viewable at

This may be related to the IPv6 handling in NSD. Do you need IPv6 support? If not, try running nsd with the "-4" option.

Else, use the -a option to explicitly bind the addresses you want NSD to listen to:

nsd -a 192.168.0.1 -a fe80::1

Note that there is some code in nsd.c that should do the right thing based on the existance of the IPV6_V6ONLY socket option. If the above solves the problem we need to find out why this code doesn't work right.

I run it on Solaris on Sparc. Including v6. Is your question Linux-
specific?

Ditto. I run nsd on 4m (netbsd) and 4u (solaris). Not doing V6 on
either though...

It works. But why only the UltraSparc needs it? My i386 machine, which
has IPv6 as well, never needed that.

Else, use the -a option to explicitly bind the addresses you want NSD to
listen to:

nsd -a 192.168.0.1 -a fe80::1

It works too. Thanks for the good workaround.

[Apparently yes]

I just tried on an UltraSparc 10 with NetBSD 1.6 userland and 2.0
kernel, with v6 running. nsd works fine so the problem seems indeed a
Linux one.
