When looking in the querylog for BIND 9.3.1 running on FreeBSD 5.4,
almost every other log entry specifies an AAAA query. The only client is
localhost. I see no reason right now to have BIND wasting resources on
IPv6 requests, so I added
named_flags="-4"
to rc.conf and restarted named. Sockstat tells me named is listening
only on udp4 and tcp4, but I still get lots of AAAA entries in the querylog:

What can I do to get rid of these?
Teach each and every application not to make them. :-)
Thanks to everyone who has answered. As soon as I read the first
sentence in Max's reply I realized the issue, and I might now have
reconsidered my "problem" as a "no problem" :-)

Why don't you go the other way and get yourself IPv6
connectivity. You do realise that you will require it to
reach many sites in about 3 years time as they will be IPv6
only
For almost 10 years I've heard discussions about the successor to IPv4,
but from my point of view (may differ from others..) not much has
happened. Of course, I can imagine that when the wheel starts rolling
for real things might change quickly. 3 years may prove to be correct,
but are there any clear signs pointing in this direction?
