I got this error message when I tried to ping6 to a domain name in my Raspberry Pi running Ubuntu 18.0x, hosted by Mythic Beasts. The error went away on its own after a while
I did some digging and it seems that the system was configured to consult one single DNS server at Mythic Beasts, from the evidence of the IP address.
I would like to add some more alternative DNS servers. Must be IPv6 because the machine does not have IPv4.
I did a systemd-resolve —status to see what the servers where and could only see the one address mentioned. I looked at the file /etc/resolv.conf which told me not to edit it by hand and gave instructions about running some tool to find out the truth instead. Maze of twisty passages after that.
I tried adding the Google public IPv6 DNS servers to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base - not sure if that is the correct thing - but even if it is, I don’t know what to do to make it take effect, or how to test it.
