A simlar question has been asked here and here and here but none of the answers seem to work so I'm posting actual code and showing it running on an ipv6 capable machine hoping someone can suggest a solution
Here's the code taken from both questions
using System;
public class HelloWorld
{
static public void Main ()
{
string hostName = "google.com"; // uri.DnsSafeHost;
Console.WriteLine("DNS.GetHostAddresses: " + hostName);
var hostAddresses = System.Net.Dns.GetHostAddresses(hostName);
Console.WriteLine("DNS.NumAddreses:" + hostAddresses.Length);
foreach (System.Net.IPAddress hostAddress in hostAddresses)
{
Console.WriteLine(
"addr: " + hostAddress.ToString() +
" family: " + hostAddress.AddressFamily.ToString());
}
System.Net.IPHostEntry ipHostEntry = System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(hostName);
Console.WriteLine("DNS.GetHostEntry NumAddresses:" + ipHostEntry.AddressList.Length);
foreach (System.Net.IPAddress hostAddress in ipHostEntry.AddressList)
{
Console.WriteLine(
"addr: " + hostAddress.ToString() +
" family: " + hostAddress.AddressFamily.ToString());
}
}
}
I'm running it on Ubuntu 14.04 with ipv6. Here's some possibly relevant info
# ip -6 addr show eth0
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
inet6 2400:6180:0:d0::691:9001/64 scope global
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::601:eeff:fe7e:201/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
Proof Google.com has an ipv6 address
# dig google.com AAAA +short
2404:6800:4003:c00::8a
Show I can ping google.com
directly on its ipv6 address
# ping6 2404:6800:4003:c00::8a

Some answers/comments suggested .NET filters out ipv6 on an ipv4 only machine. This is clearly not an ipv4 only machine.
Note: here's doing the same thing in node.js on the same machine. It correctly gets the ipv6 address as well as the ipv4 addresses
# node
> require('dns').lookup("google.com", {all:true}, (err, addresses) => { console.log(addresses); });
GetAddrInfoReqWrap {
callback: { [Function: asyncCallback] immediately: true },
family: 0,
hostname: 'google.com',
oncomplete: [Function: onlookupall],
domain:
Domain {
domain: null,
_events: { error: [Function] },
_eventsCount: 1,
_maxListeners: undefined,
members: [] } }
> [ { address: '74.125.200.101', family: 4 },
{ address: '74.125.200.138', family: 4 },
{ address: '74.125.200.102', family: 4 },
{ address: '74.125.200.139', family: 4 },
{ address: '74.125.200.113', family: 4 },
{ address: '74.125.200.100', family: 4 },
{ address: '2404:6800:4003:c00::65', family: 6 } ]
How do I get either DNS.GetHostAddresses
or DNS.GetHostEntry
to return both ipv6 and ipv4 addresses?
