A work-around my colleague gave was to set-up VPN connection as PPTP VPN using RAS gives out a separate IPv4 address, and is able to resolve IPv4 DNS requests without using the IPv6.
While this is an easy work-around, the easier method is to simply set-up hosts file to perform the mapping.
Unfortunately for him, he was unable to locate the hosts file to edit in the mac os X. I did some search in the web and encounter this blog post... (here) I don't wish to re-invent the wheel, but I thought I'll post it here anyway, with some pictures to guide my readers and my team how to make the changes.
Follow my print-screens below. It should be self-explanatory.
just press CTRL+o (Omega) to save.
press Enter to save the changes.
You are good to go!
Now for the biggie.. the server needs to be fixed with the IPv6 issue.
This is the issue:
I ensured that all settings are right:
After hunting through different blogs, i found one here and I realize this guy faced the similar problem and fixed the issue!
the mistake i made was to create 8.c.2.f.0 where I should have done it like this:
Once added with an AAA record, the PTR can be added.
Resolution now works.. but the problem still persists!
Shucks!
