	Nope.  I can get to IPv6-only sites just fine.  And my E-Mail and DNS
over IPv6 is fine.  So, I'm able to get to IPv6 sites and they're able
to get to me.  It's just sites with both an "A" and a quad A "AAAA"
record for the same name.  Seems like a fairly recent update.  Are you
fully up to date with the latest yum updates?

	I'm going to check further with my upstream (OCCAID) and make sure
there's no other peculiarities but this doesn't behave like other
problems I've seen.

	Oh...  And one other thing...  Even internally, where my servers have
both an IPv6 and IPv4 address, it use to be that doing an ssh to them
would result in a connection to the IPv6 address.  Now it connects to
the IPv4 address.  But, if I use the IPv6-only name, it does connect to
IPv6 just fine.  So there's no routing problems or firewall problems in
that case.
