Hi!

While using NetBSD on an i386 machine I experience large delays in
http/ftp/etc. connections:

paul: {1} time finger @www.netbsd.org

Pings are really fine:

The problem occurred while installing via ftp (with standard boot disks),
and furthermore with my configured kernel. The AAAA queries seem to be ipv6
related (?).
Here is my resolv.conf:

nameserver 192.168.1.2
search home

and the essential (?) part of my kernel config file:

#options  INET6  # IPV6

Any hints to get rid of those AAAA queries?

Many tnx in advance
Thomas
