Currently I think WWWOFFLE makes AAAA DNS requests even if it doesn't bind to any IPv6 addresses, and there a no IPv6 addresses on the system at all. These AAAA queries are completely useless, just waste a bit of time. At least could there be an option in the config file not to make any AAAA DNS queries? As on a system without IPv^ connectivity (as most systems are), it could't use the result anyway even if it got a response from the DNS server (in most cases it doesn't). On systems with long RTT to the Internet (think satellite connection), superflous DNS queries generate significant delays.
