 MvdV>> Hmmm...

It loooks like it is something peculiar to Firefox. Apparently Firefox remebers if a site ismore easley reacheable via IPv4 than via IPv6. It will eventually adjust when a site goes from IPv4 only to dual stack, but it takes a while.

So when I first start my web server and start relay6 some time later, Firefox acceses it via IPv4. For a while...

The solution is to start relay6 /before/ starting the web server. Then Firefox will see it as a dual stack web site and use IPv6 from the start...


Cheers, Michiel
