At least on my system, there's an 'options inet6' line that makes it look
for AAAA records, and mapping ipv4 into ipv6 addresses if only an A record
is found.

Also note that it doesn't fix the problem that's being seen - I might
be able to contact the nameservers listed in resolv.conf via both IPv4
and IPv6 - the fun starts when my nameserver gets an NS entry that contains
an AAAA record, and the nameserver has enough IPv6 connectivity to think
it's worth a try, but you can't get there from here...
