I noticed Apple's Safari 4.04 defaults to IPv4 instead of IPv6 when both A and AAAA are present. Now you can discuss wether this is a safe default or not, I would really like to know where the little button is to switch this behavior to AAAA first, which I recall used to be the case on earlier editions.

Just tried Safari 4 on OSX 10.6 here and see

www.ripe.net - goes over IPv6
www.ipv6actnow.org - goes over IPv6
www.sixxs.net - goes over IPv4
www.kame.net - goes over IPv6

only difference I can see is that those that work only have one A and AAAA record, sixxs.net has multiple A and AAAA records..related?
