Most tools either have separate IPv4/IPv6 variants or have command-line switches for address-family control if you care.For most tools that I ordinarily use, I would certainly agree with this. The only exception might be from a web browser; while there are ways that they can be reconfigured to only use certain IP versions in certain cases, it is probably more straightforward to use www.ipvN.domain.tld or a similar name.
In a web browser, I don't care unless I'm troubleshooting. If I'm troubleshooting, my web browser of choice is probably wget rather than one of the kitchen sink GUI based browsers. It turns out that wget supports the flag in question. Owen
