moonv6 post from "John Baird \(CIV\)" <baird@hpcmo.hpc.mil>
I believe the articles are based on the behavior of older builds of
Vista. It did initially always preferred AAAA records, even when
connected to a network that was only IPv4-enabled, and had the potential
to nearly double (request AAAA, timeout, request A) DNS accesses.
DREN is participating in the Vista beta testing, and that was one thing we complained loudly about. They seem to have listened. The last 2 Vista builds are better behaved, and only request AAAA records when connected to a network that is IPv6-enabled.

The two articles below about Vista and DNS melting the Internet suggest that Vista will always make two DNS requests; one for the A record and the other for the AAAA record. While I might expect this to occur if Vista thinks it is connected to an operational IPv6 network, will Vista still do this if it doesn't have a globally routable IPv6 address or any other indication that it is connected to an IPv6-enabled network?
