Comment 14 for bug 24828

So the way to fix the problems with an upcoming technology is to supress it? Thats silly.. Disabling it by default out of the box also does not aid adoption.

As far as I can see, this is a limited issue to those with "broken" routers, probably 98% of devices on the market have no problems with this.

Windows Vista is also shipping with IPv6 enabled by default, perhaps this will help weed out the devices which don't do what they are supposed to do and violate the DNS specifications.

It is unfortunate that this is the case, the only solution that I would personally like to see is some kind of attempt at detecting a "broken" router, this could perhaps be achieved by doing a lookup on ubuntu.com for IPv4 only, if that succeeds, try an any lookup and if that is met by serious delays offer the ability to disable it, but I'd love to know exactly how many users are affected by this issue and how much worth there is in spending developer time on this (of course, I'm sure the Ubuntu developers would *consider and discuss* accepting a proper well formed and tested patch that did this) -- perhaps a simple FAQ entry would suffice.

Could those with this problem please tell me what modem manufacturer/model devices you have (and what your dns servers are set to) so I can investigate this further and determine 100% if it is the modem dns servers, or the ISPs servers, etc, if I can login to a box with this problem it would be great...
