Error when IPv6 is not supported by the underlying OS. #49

Open paulosalem opened 11 years ago

paulosalem commented 11 years ago

I got this Exception message when trying to run a net-dns query on EngineYard:

Address family not supported by protocol - socket(2) - udp.

By reading the logs, I found that the error is at:

net/dns/resolver.rb:1198:in `query_udp'

Which currently is:

socket6 = UDPSocket.new(Socket::AF_INET6)

I checked at EngineYard, and apparently they do not support IP v6 yet. So that explains the error. Proper handling of this case can be added to fix the issue.

I created a fork w/ a commit that fixes this here:

https://github.com/rosscooperman/net-dns/commit/bbe1b4470f2c91dc808b4e61a1264bee340e72ee

Could a committed let me know what needs to be done (test wise) to get this pulled in?
