When I used dig to get the AAAA record, I only saw 1 address for google. What gives? Surely there are more than 1 addresses ... I thought dig would show them all. It does that for AA records. I'm very confused.
- ay 15y agoThis is because there was one IPv6 address in the DNS reply. Search for "happy eyeballs" for the overall description of why. In short - If your IPv6 went dead and you'd have more than one IPv6 addr in the reply, you'd get bored until you reach the IPv4 addresses.
