Hello,
I configured IPv6 Anycast address using netsh commands (add address "Local Area Connection" 2001::1a type=anycast) on windows server 2008 r2. There is DNS Service running on this server and is configured to listen on all the interfaces. When I try to do nslookup from same server, it give timeout (when using Anycast as Server IP )... However, in the nslookup, when using the other Unicast IP address as server, everything works fine.
When trying "netstat -an", I see that port 53 is binded to all IPs, except the anycast IP.
I tried the same thing on IIS Web Services, it does not work on Anycast IPv6 address.
I can ping to the anycast IP from self & other hosts however.
Has anybody configured anycast DNS service and can help here?
Regards
