We recently ran into a similar problem. IPv6 has long been
successfully black-listed but for a few days we were unable
to use Etch to download a Debian Testing CD from the torrent
because btdownloadcurses saw the bttracker.acc.umu.se AAAA
record and died on something like "no route to host" without
ever trying the A record.
bttracker.acc.umu.se now (seems to) always return the A
record before the AAAA record and btdownloadcurses works
once more.
FWIW, we do not have "options ipv6" in resolv.conf, but I
don't see a way to say something like "options no-ipv6".
