ping6 google.com and ping6 ipv6.google.com
Hi everyone,
I have an online.net small box with debian on it and running wide ipv6 client. If i try to ping ipv6.google.com it works:
ping6 ipv6.google.com
PING ipv6.google.com(ea-in-x66.1e100.net) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from ea-in-x66.1e100.net: icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=12.7 ms
64 bytes from ea-in-x66.1e100.net: icmp_seq=2 ttl=54 time=12.7 ms
64 bytes from ea-in-x66.1e100.net: icmp_seq=3 ttl=54 time=12.9 ms
but if i try to ping6 google.com , it says host unknown host
ping6 google.com
unknown host
Also checking facebook.com with ipv6:
ping6 facebook.com
PING facebook.com(edge-star6-shv-12-frc3.facebook.com) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from edge-star6-shv-12-frc3.facebook.com: icmp_seq=1 ttl=51 time=97.0 ms
64 bytes from edge-star6-shv-12-frc3.facebook.com: icmp_seq=2 ttl=51 time=97.0 ms
64 bytes from edge-star6-shv-12-frc3.facebook.com: icmp_seq=3 ttl=51 time=97.0 ms
If i check the host for AAAA from online.net :
host -t AAAA google.com
google.com has no AAAA record
If i check the host from Ramnode Vps:
host -t AAAA google.com
google.com has IPv6 address 2a00:1450:400c:c09::65
From a VPS at ramnode with ipv6 , it works fine :
ping6 google.com
PING google.com(ea-in-x8b.1e100.net) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from ea-in-x8b.1e100.net: icmp_seq=1 ttl=56 time=614 ms
64 bytes from ea-in-x8b.1e100.net: icmp_seq=2 ttl=56 time=13.3 ms
64 bytes from ea-in-x8b.1e100.net: icmp_seq=3 ttl=56 time=13.4 ms
64 bytes from ea-in-x8b.1e100.net: icmp_seq=4 ttl=56 time=13.5 ms
I tried to look on internet but couldnt find a solution. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Works on one, fails on another.
The server it fails on does not find an AAAA record for google.com
The server it works on has unbound installed and is using that in preference to online's nameservers.
dig AAAA google.com +trace
Now working with unbound installed.
Oki , i have change the nmeservers to google ones and it seems to work now. thanks @urDN and @Keith for help and @0xdragon for the dots
Try changing the NS.
EDIT - Doh! Late to the party.
