Known deficiency in glibc. Code to do RFC3484 precedence tables landed
in Fedora Rawhide the first half of May and is in FC6-test.  I don't know
the status of that glibc code landing in RHEL 5.0.

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=190495

http://people.redhat.com/drepper/linux-rfc3484.html for the how-and-why.

Short-form answer:  Once the glibc code lands on your system,  you should be
able to just do this:

# cp /etc/share/doc/glibc-common-2.<mumble>/gai.conf /etc
# vi /etc/gai.conf

and configure whatever flavor of precedence you wanted for your particular
network configuration.
and tell it what order you want addresses tried on
