My guess would be more like "resolver queries for IPv4 and IPv6.  IPv4 is
serviced from /etc/hosts, while IPv6 is serviced from DNS = DNS64".

An IPv4-only entry in /etc/hosts will not result in "IPv6 resolver lookups
will return NXDOMAIN".

At least that's my theory (not having an MacOS 10.8 available just now to
test) :-)
