I had the problem in the past and suggested a /etc/resolv.conf based solution, but people think this is an application problem and should be solved differently (e.g. Firefox uses "Happy Eyeballs", basically opening both connections asynchroneously and dropping the one that does not get established first). Currently we have no general mechanism to controll this, AFAIK. Martin
