It seems there are a lot of broken named's on the Internet that do not answer to AAAA queries. I have a noteboo that sometimes is, and sometimes is not IPv6 connected. However, I do not want to wait too long when on IPv4 only networks. So I would like to eiother have a resolveroption to specify not to ask for AAAA records, or have a smart resolver that figures out that it doesn't need to query AAAA records when only link local IPv6 addresses are found. I do not want to carrie around 2 kernels (one with and the other without ipv6). I'd like to have see some comments on this... -Guido
