Description:
% ping6 www.apple.com
ping6: Non-recoverable failure in name resolution
The name does properly resolve for AAAA with NOERROR and should
come back with a "hostname nor servname provided, or not known" instead
How-To-Repeat:
% ping6 www.apple.com
The same can be done with source code that goes a getaddrinfo().
ping6 is just an easy way to reproduce. I have 450k other domain names
that return a similar error that are improper.
Fix:
Unknown. A dig/host of the domains does not seem to find this error.
A domain that should return this type of error is www qq com as their
nameserver is doing something 'odd'.
