It's not strange at all. The second set of lookups is for the canonical host name. Anyway, all this is mood with the current glibc code. Once you get 2.3.3-53 or higher, try it again. And IPv6 addresses are always looked but if requested and there is an IPv6 interface defined on your system. If you don't want any IPv6 lookups, remove all IPv6 interfaces. - -- â Ulrich Drepper â Red Hat, Inc. â 444 Castro St â Mountain View, CA â -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBSiup2ijCOnn/RHQRAsO4AJ4z4GTikO7wF/lkXE0I+3Pz3y0iVQCghRvV Wa/xTXEBZc8HVsdshKAMfv4= =hfr1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
