Yes, I noticed @apnic.net - but I'm sure not everyone at APNIC has v6
connectivity clue.  And even the clueful sometimes miss the obvious; I
know I have often enough.

If you could do the fetch by hand without trouble, then the problem
_has_ to be a software problem in Mozilla, one way or another.

Well...only if NetBSD and/or Mozilla will figure heavily in those,
which I'm not entirely sure is true.  (Now, if IE under Windows didn't
work, that could be crippling for widespread adoption - but also
wouldn't be NetBSD's problem.)

Well, I personally don't care directly about much of anything about how
Mozilla behaves, anyway. :-)

Sounds sensible to me, though I'd be inclined to also try to work with
the Mozilla people to find and fix whatever is responsible - even if
that just means turning off V6ONLY upon creating any INET6 socket.
According to the NetBSD doc, this should make it work just as it would
if v6only were sysctled to 0....
