Uh, so what exactly is "smart" about "your client web connects randomly 
flip-flop between IPv4 and IPv6 when talking to the very same server"?

(I've recently been bitten by that - due to a mishap on the server,
IPv4 failed 404, while IPv6 worked - got lots of very inconclusive 
results from users about this, like "I occasionally get 'access denied'
and when I press reload, it's working again".  Talk about deterministic
behaviour in networks...)
