Yes, I double checked that ipv6 is disabled and it really is (I prevented the module from being loaded).
I know applications can perform ipv4 lookups only but most of them don't. In Firefox you need to explicitely tell to use ipv4 though about:config. Doing this on a per-app basis isn't really simple. What about having glibc do the following: - socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, 0); - if the call works, perform an AAAA lookup first - if it doesn't, perform an A lookup That way, if ipv6 support is removed (eg. the ipv6 module is in blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d), only A lockups would be performed. -- a way to disable AAAA lookups in the resolver https://launchpad.net/bugs/80571 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
