Or at least, the fact that you can't turn IPv6 lookups *off*, even if you're running an IPv4-only host, is a bug. There is absolutely no point in performing an extra DNS lookup when you can't even use the result. Since DNS lookups are expensive, this can lead to a fairly noticable performance hit. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
