AFAICT, gai.conf is not a Windows file. It is a Linux OS/networking config file. I do not agree that Firebird should have any preference for IPv4. Firebird should use all available IP paths to connect to a database, it is for the OS to choose the best paths. There are mechanisms in Windows to manage the preferences (e.g. IPv6 can be disabled at the adapter level, host name/IP address can be defined/specified in etc/hosts. file). It seems that your problem is due to slow host name to IP address resolution (i.e. DNS), not with Firebird functionality.
