I am using some custom domains name by editing /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add
problem is whenever I do an NSLOOKUP on one of those domains it returns NXDOMAIN for the IPV6 address even though IPv6 is disable everywhere in my network
This doesn't really cause an issue except in some of my docker containers that are running Alpine OS it sees the NXDOMAIN as an error and even though IPv6 is turned off, it won't resolve the domain name for IPv4
I reported it back to Alpine as a bug and they say its as designed and it should be reporting back as NODATA for IPv6 by the DNS Server (for which I am using the Router on Merlin as DNS) - https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/15762
But as I said Alpine is the only OS I run which wont ignore the NXDOMAIN all my other environments, windows, debian, synology will resolve the ipv4 fine!
The workaround is to add a :: as a null ipv6 address for all my custom domains and now alpine will resolve the ipv4! Is there a way the DNS server can be updated for custom domains rto report back NODATA instead of NCDOMAIN for custom domains when there is no ipv6 address for it?
Cheers
