I'm not getting into the weeds with all the replies on this thread,
but I did want to add:  Happy Eyeballs.  Happy Eyeballs could explain
why you are seeing both IPv4 and IPv6 queries  -- the program is
complying with RFC 6555 and friends.[0]  But I can't explain the IPv6
queries when you _don't_ have a dual stack.

[0.0] Happy Eyeballs Version 1, RFC 6555,
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc6555/>
[0.1] Happy Eyeballs Version 2, RFC 8305,
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8305/>
[0.2] Happy Eyeballs Version 3,
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-happy-happyeyeballs-v3/>
