[schrodinger]

Running OpenBSD 4.3 and noticed after the install everything has a slight delay in connecting to where I want to go. Realised that using the "-4" switch with everything that it was because everything was trying IPv6 first. Turns out that it's just the resolver looking for IPv6 records when trying to resolve something.

Is there a way to stop this? Or just to make it default to IPv4 only records?
