Why not? Thinking "in order to" is wrong... it's just a database
lookup.

It just happens that in this case, asking over IPv6 can't work.
But this should be no problem as the database lookup will be repeated
over other transports until it succeeds.

In the general case, you don't know whether connectivity to address X of
type Y is possible until you try it, and unfortunately, sometimes only 
after a time-out period has passed without answer.
