Hello.

I am playing with a 3.HEAD-20080820 build of Squid, to use it's
support for IPv6. It seems to be working well (maybe a little slow
relative to v2.7S4, both on Linux) except for one irritation.
Given a site with both A and AAAA records, Squid always opts for
the IPv4 connection.
It seems that a lot of predominantly-IPv6 sites also maintain an
IPv4 address, just so they can tell you to get on board with IPv6.
For sites with only AAAA records, Squid does a great job of getting
the content to me.
Even the use of the square-bracket scheme (e.g.
http://[www.kame.net]/ ) isn't enough to coax Squid into IPv6 land
when a IPv4 address is also found by DNS look-up.
How can I instruct Squid to prefer the IPv6 address over an IPv4
address?
Should not be. I coded it specifically to prefer v6 if working.

It turned out to be a browser caching problem. Once I cleared my cache
all was well.
Sorry for the false alarm, and thank you for all your efforts on getting
IPv6 support into Squid.
:-) gotta love those broken browser caches.
