I have a Fedora 10 server using an IPv6 tunnel broker (sixxs). One of the nagging things I have noticed is that using any common utilities like "wget" domains resolve to the real IPv4 destination address AND MY OWN IPv6 address. The utility then tries to connect to the IPv6 address (my own) and gets a 404, forcing something like "wget -4" resolves this and it connects to the real destination but I have a feeling its not supposed to be this broken in the first place.

And an example of it happening:

Any ideas what might be causing this?
