Unfortunately, enabling or disabling IPV6 doesn't seem to have
much to do with the library doing V6 DNS lookups. I could

that you could set to disable v6 dns requests, but I can't
remember what it was called.
I run bind as a caching nameserver, forwarding lookups to my
ISP's server and set the -4 option on the command line to
make it stick to ipv4 and all my DNS lookup problems vanished.
bind is too complex
to run and maintain.
Really, it is a huge overkill for what I need.
I hope nscd authors will fix it soon so it does not
purge it's cache every few seconds. I check'ed it's
config file and the
restart-interval 3600
seems reasonable.
