Wouldn't it be nice to be able to configure the default behavior of the resolver to not query AAAA records first, before looking for A records? Just because my host is capable of doing IPv6 doesn't mean I prefer using it over IPv4. Especially since it's almost certain to be a lower performance path traversing various tunnels, with smaller MTUs, etc. This capabilty would be a work-around to this problem, but it would be useful in it's own right, and might actually encourage people to turn on IPv6 since it would be less likely to have an impact on their existing applications. louie
