    MvdV> Here is the report:   
      
    MvdV> 1) I created a host name for my system with only an AAAA record.   
    MvdV> Rinaldo configured that host name in his WinPoint config. Rinaldo   
    MvdV> polled with the IPv6 address.   
      
    MvdV> 2) I added an A record to that host name. Rinaldo polled with IPv6.   
      
    MvdV> 3) I removed the AAAA record for the host name. Rinaldo  polled with   
    MvdV> IPv4.   
      
    MvdV> 4) I added the AAAA record back in. Rinaldo polled with IPv6.   
      
    MvdV> 5) I removed the A record. Rinalodo polls with IPv6.   
      
    MvdV> Conclusion: Winpoint follows the OS if the OS is configured to do IPv6   
    MvdV> first if the host is reachable by IPv6 and IPv4. If only one of the two   
    MvdV> is available WinPoint uses that. All as expected.   
      
    MvdV> What was not tested was the case that the OS is configured to try IPv4   
    MvdV> first.   
      
   Great! Thanks for your efforts and for sharing your experience!
