[systemd-devel] systemd-resolved only returns v6 addresses

[Mantas Mikulėnas]

I was probably too hasty in saying it's the upstream resolver's fault --
it's still systemd-resolved which makes the two A and AAAA queries and
aggregates their responses. The upstream just happens to choose different
nameservers for both, but that's normal operation.

Either way, I'd mostly blame O365 for doing weird things, but I don't have
enough DNS knowledge to say whether resolved could or should be fixed to
deal with it. (Then again it wouldn't be the first time when
systemd-resolved is rejecting responses that are otherwise entirely
valid...)
