DNS on VCSA returning link-local address

Hello

Trying to figure out a DNS issue on a vcenter appliance. If a do a nslookup domain.com on my appliance I get all my (4) IPv4 dns servers but I also get one resolved to 169.254.61.192

There is only 1 interface on the system , ip a s show only 127.0.0.1 and my regular IPv4 10.0.0.1

cat /etc/resolv.conf lists 127.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2

Only difference I see if when I list all my servers no using the dnsmasq

nslookup domain.com @10.0.02

i get the proper IPv4 servers plus 1 IPv6 address

could dnsmasq be taking the IPv6 address and returning the 169.254.61.192 in its place ?

if so , is there a way to stop this ?

thanks

From where exactly do you run the nslookup commend?

Does it return the same results when you run it from another system?

I saw a similar issue some time ago, where one of the Windows DCs had an unused (not connected) NIC, that wasn't disabled in the network settings.

Thanks for the reply

I'm running this from the VSCA itself (ssh)

I do not see these results elsewhere, I get 4 IPv4 servers and 1 IPv6 interface as it should.

check all DC's and they seem to be proper. i only have 1 NIC per.
