Hi,

First double check that you've really disabled IP6.

IMO A system wide AAAA lookups doesn't make sense and there's already
a way to disable them in lookup:
hints.ai_flags = AI_ADDRCONFIG;
....
getaddrinfo (...

Too bad telnet and at least gaim don't use it, but most gnome applications and firefox do.

on the other hand an easy way to disable IPV6 would be nice, sometimes it's a real problem and not only with broken router (slow or congested uplink).
