Any suggestions?               TS> As long as the host also has an IPv4 address, WP will use the IPv4.        TS> That is the common practice to aviod trouble with IPv6 infratstructure        TS> issues.

I have been playing around with IPv6 for well over a decade and I say WP       is definitely NOT following common practice. Common practice is that when the       host name resolves to both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address to try IPv6 first and       when that fails to try IPv4.              Maybe we should discuss this in the IPv6 echo.
