Comment (by pulkomandy):
As already mentionned above, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3484.txt describes
the algorithm that should be used for this.
Linux implements this and has a way to further tweak the resolution
through /etc/gai.conf (http://linux.die.net/man/5/gai.conf)
The "ipv6" option in resolv.conf is for gethostbyname only. getaddrinfo is
passed the "service" (port number) so it can use the right address family.
So I'm not sure having the "ipv4" option there makes sense, after all.
