Vladimir,
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I wrote this patch more than a
year ago and I've not been working much on grub2 code since then. I know
Paulo Smorigo (CC) is working to address your concerns and he is much
more familiar with grub2 code than I am.
Paulo, thanks for your help.

Also way too often IPv6 is misconfigured and detecting this condition
may be slow if the packets simply
Because IPv4 is much more prevalent at present, what means less
unnecessary traffic and a slightly better performance on most of the
cases. We can always change the default in the future (when IPv6 is more
prevalent) as such "preference" is just an optimization.
Also, I should soon have a patch

Why prefer IPv4 when most things prefer IPv6?

Adding multiple questions on a single DNS query is not supportted by
most DNS servers. This patch issues two separate DNS queries
sequentially for ipv4 and then for ipv6.
There are 4 possible config options:
DNS_OPTION_IPV4: issue only one ipv4 query
DNS_OPTION_IPV6: issue only one ipv6 query
