So with only HI RR, nothing in local host files, you HAVE to run hipdnsproxy to use conntest-client-hip, as it does not have the code that has been added to hipdnsproxy (I see a lib call coming on).
So with hipdnsproxy providing both HITs and LSIs, conntest seems to be using the LSI, or that is what the debug message reported.
Can I force conntest to use only IPv6 and thus ignore the LSI from hipdnsproxy?
