    It's unfortunately how users get told to turn off ipv6.

    There were some back-compat issues with how GLIBC emitted DNS requests
    a few months ago that required turning off ipv6 completely otherwise
    DNS requests would timeout.

    Sticking an ipv6.ko module load disable into /etc/modprobe.conf
    was the only tenable workaround.
