Comment (by donn):
If this isn't the same problem, it seems closely related. WebPositive, as
of r43668, spends about 15 seconds on futile IPv6 name resolution
attempts, when no IPv6 is configured (as shown in ifconfig / Network
pref.)
I fixed the same problem in an application that uses libcurl, with a curl
option that specifies IPv4 only. I'm not saying, though, that WebPositive
ought to be fixed the same way. I guess it should continue to try to
support IPv6 as appropriate, but the resolver library should know better
than to send IPv6 queries when it isn't configured, so it should return
right away, not after a 5 or 10 second select timeout.
That might be through settings/network/irs.conf - I don't have one, and my
attempt to create one only broke name resolution altogether.
