The test is not for google, it's to see if the ISP's DNS servers would
respond to a request for an IPv6 AAAA record.

I have disabled IPv6 by adding an "install ipv6 /bin/true" line
into /etc/modprobe.d/dist.conf and by disabling the ip6tables Service.
This does allow Firefox to find web sites (whihc it would not do
before), but does not allow telnet or ftp to work. The results are
excatly as before. So that seems to indicate that even after disabling
IPv6, IPv6 DNS requests are still being issued.
