Did Apple use their version of Happy Eyeballs on the iPads?
ISTR they cache certain timeouts, so if IPv6 was failing before it may take
awhile for it to become preferred again.

Huh, so I come home and now I'm getting IPv6 from Verizon LTE. But I
definitely wasn't at the office. I verified with an app called "IT
Tools" that shows the interfaces and routing table, plus it does
traceroute/ping. Maybe the nearest tower over there doesn't support
IPv6? Odd.



Safari on the iPad seems to be preferring A over AAAA if a hostname has
both, though. I can browse to a bracketed IPv6 address so it is working.
