Description

Hi,

Resolv::DNS does not return any results under those conditions:

  • there are at least two name servers (in /etc/resolv.conf).
  • The name servers have IPv6 addresses containing leading zeros.

Example resolv.conf:
nameserver 2001:0db8::0001:1
nameserver 2001:0db8::0002:1

This is caused by a mismatch in representation of the address: Requester::sender_for compares the address of the answering server (e.g. 2001:0db8::1:1) with the address the request was sent to (e.g. 2001:0db8::0001:1).
This can be fixed by stripping leading zeros from the sender's address, as done in the attached patch.

Best regards,
Jan-Martin
