Got something going on on a router that seems strange. To me, anyway.

I have a router that does not have IPv6 enabled, nor is IPv6 being used in the 
network it’s on. “ipv6” does not even occur anywhere in the config.

On any addresses it looks up the IPv4 address fine, and can route to that 
address. But when I ping something like www.yahoo.com it grabs the IPv6 address 
and tries to ping that. And fails, of course. How do I get it to stop 
preferring IPv6 addresses?

core-gw1.noc#show ip route www.yahoo.com
Translating "www.yahoo.com"...domain server (216.24.27.4) [OK]
