So there's little chance of fixing that.
I have working IPv6, that's the whole problem -- it tries to resolve something but has to timeout because the nameserver seems to "drop" the queries instead of answering them. You could fix it by changing the timeout, or querying the A and AAAA in parallel and using the one that comes back first or something.. but that'd double DNS traffic uselessly. The best solution is fixing the nameserver :) Martijn -- You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.
