VyOS 1.4 - static-host-mapping and IPv6

General questions
1

I’ve a question about the static-host-mapping.

If i have settings mentioned below:

set system static-host-mapping host-name ipv6.host.domain.loc inet xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::x
set system static-host-mapping host-name ipv6.host.domain.loc alias host.domain.loc

set system static-host-mapping host-name ipv4.host.domain.loc inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
set system static-host-mapping host-name ipv4.host.domain.loc alias host.domain.loc

I can’t get the ipv6 address of host.domain.loc, dig AAAA xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::x host.domain.loc

-> % dig AAAA @xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::x  ipv6.host.domain.loc

; <<>> DiG 9.16.22-Debian <<>> AAAA @xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::x   ipv6.host.domain.loc

ping host.domain.loc # uses ipv4
ping6 host.domain.loc # ping: ipv6.host.domain.loc: Name or service not known

But: dig A xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::x host.domain.loc , gave me the ipv4 as it should.

I’ve tried so much, but static-host-mapping does not work with IPv6, even if i try only just ipv6 to host, without an ipv4 address, i get no ip at all.

Is there a other way to mapping ipv6 to hosts, or should i use a seperate named server ?

Best regards

Edit:
If i ping from VyOS itself, “ping host.domain.loc”
it takes the ipv6 … what is going on here :slight_smile:
