Yeah. That's exactly what I did to make it work nicely on my machine, but that's not a real solution as it breaks IPv6 resolving. I'm going to try Terry's solution and try and do concurrent lookups. Mozilla is already using pthreads, so I should be able to just spawn the two requests in separate threads and take the one that comes back first. I may even spawn the IPv6 one a little earlier to give it a slightly better chance of coming back first.
