Interestingly,

This didn't work on the Squeeze system, but it worked fine on a Lenny system running a stock Lenny 2.6.26-2 kernel, which seems to have been generated with ipv6 as a module.

Equally interestingly,

The Lenny system had no file called /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/ disable_ipv6

Is this new with 2.6.30 (Squeeze) kernels? Or is it a feature of having ipv6 compiled in?

        Very curious!

Had the same issue a while back already, but after a quick google search I found something that was similar to what I did then.

alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off

Those two, and jam them in a /etc/modprobe.d/00ipv6disable or something along those lines. Don't forget to reboot.

An other option is to build your own kernel, or fix the ipv6 setup (DNS issue maybe?)
