According to RFC 3493, they should not. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ensure the system is IPv6-only (it is optional remove 127.0.0.1/8 from the loopback interface, as it is ignored by getaddrinfo() for the purposes of determining whether or not the system has IPv4 connectivity or not). My test system gives the following output: [tore@laptop ~]$ ip -4 address list; ip -4 route list 1: lo: mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo [tore@laptop ~]$ 2. Ensure the system has a working IPv6 DNS server configured in /etc/resolv.conf, "echo nameserver 2001:4860:4860::8888 > /etc/resolv.conf" should do the trick. 3. Download and compile my getaddrinfo() test program from http://fud.no/gai.c (or use any other getaddrinfo() test program that can be made to use AI_ADDRCONFIG): "wget -O - http://fud.no/gai.c | gcc -x c -o gai -" 4. Start a tcpdump to inspect DNS server traffic: "tcpdump -i any -n port 53" 5. Resolve a host name using getaddrinfo() w/AI_ADDRCONFIG, e.g. "./gai -ac www.ripe.net" Actual results: The tcpdump process reports queries being made for both A and AAAA resource records: 11:16:00.685198 IP6 2a02:c0:1002:101:c449:7c3d:76b6:bbd1.48007 > 2001:4860:4860::8888.domain: 44105+ A? www.ripe.net.
