Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary Content-Disposition: inline Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Length: 600 When -4 or -6 is specified on the command line along with an explicit server address belonging to the disabled address family, delv will send out bogus queries in an attempt to resolve the provided server "name". To reproduce, put the following in /etc/resolv.conf: search foo.bar nameserver 127.0.0.1 and then run: $ delv -4 @::1 isc.org This will result in queries for "::1.foo.bar." and "::1." being sent to 127.0.0.1, as proved by the attached PCAP file. Depending on host configuration, this issue might result in test traffic being leaked when the digdelv system test is run.
