In my experience Mozilla doesn't timeout and fall back to IPv4. If a site
has an AAAA record, and Mozilla is running on a machine with an IPv6
capable kernel it will assume you have an IPv6 link to the 'net. Try
disabling IPv6 on the NetBSD machine (or better still get a free IPv6
tunnel with freenet6.net, but remember the IPv6 firewall!)
