Description of problem:

Just installed Fedora 11 from x86_64 ISO image, and I encountered the same problem as with Fedora 10 when I first installed it: "DNS resolver not reliable", which was earlier reported as Bug #459756.

What I see:
yum does not connect to external repositories.
ping does resolve external names, and works OK.
Firefox does resolve Internet names only if "network.dns.disableIPv6" is set to TRUE in about:config
Evolution does not connect to my mailboxes, I believe due to DNS failure.

My Network Configuration Ethernet Device is configured (in the GUI) with "Enable IPv6 configuration for this interface" unchecked.

My uname -a reports:
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 27 17:27:08 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

My glibc is:
glibc-2.10.1-2

In my case this is reproducible always (firefox, yum), as it was with Fedora 10.
glibc-2.9-3 resolved the problem in Fedora 10 fine for me, with my DNS.
Maybe this is reproducible for me because my old DNS has no IPv6 at all, I guess.
