Hello Tim,

On Tuesday March 08 2022 20:24, you wrote to me:

Ouch! 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. You are welcome to join there,
it is available from your Boss node.


Cheers, Michiel
