    AS>>>> No, it's the default "prefer IPv4 over IPv6" in your system or   
    AS>>>> browser settings.   
    MvdV>>> Odd. Because this only happens when I use the RELAY6 method   
    MvdV>>> when locally accessing my website. When I used the netsh   
    MvdV>>> method, I always connected via IPv6. And wneh connected other   
    MvdV>>> websites aroud the world, IPv6 is the preferred method.   
    AS>> Then it's something with RELAY6 altering IPv6 default route priority.   
    MvdV>>> Hmmm...   
    MvdV> It loooks like it is something peculiar to Firefox. Apparently   
    MvdV> Firefox remebers if a site ismore easley reacheable via IPv4 than   
    MvdV> via IPv6. It will eventually adjust when a site goes from IPv4 only   
    MvdV> to dual stack, but it takes a while.   
      
   Well, if the site is not reachable via IPv6, FF indeed does a "quick fallback"   
   to IPv4 and caches it.
