Once IPv6 was removed from the kernel the agent ran OK. Bizarre but true! Go figure!

Granted, DNS packets are small, and most modern systems can handle great loads. But, why have that crap flying around? On top of that, if you have a search order defined, it does that on each one. Worse case is double the number of lookups required to find an answer. Practically nobody believes IPv6 is going to be here to quickly. Recent reports ( picked up on /. http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/08/18/226228& ) Really show how little uptake has been. If you need it, then turn it on. when 99.99% of users don't even use something in your load, and you force them to by default... I think that's the wrong approach.

That shouldn't break anything. If the records don't exist, the DNS server should return an error, and your client should retry with a query for an A record (which maps hostnames to an IPv4 address).

Why do you want to turn it off? Do you have evidence that it's hurting something?
