/etc/nsswitch.conf, the line that starts with 'host:'.
Mine looks like this:
hosts: files mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns
you can specify mdns4_minimal/mdns4 instead of mdns_minimal/mdns to only
get ipv4 results. With mdns either ipv4 or ipv6 will be returned, but
apparently ipv6 is preferred.
