Here is the output from "ip a" after disabling IPv6 in YaST2, in 2
situations:
A: Default "out-of-the-box" /boot/grub/menu.lst
DNS issues both A and AAAA request.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1: lo: mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo
inet 127.0.0.2/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host secondary lo
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: mtu 1492 qdisc pfifo_fast
state UP qlen 1000
link/ether 00:07:e9:6b:40:96 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.2.6/24 brd 192.168.2.225 scope global eth0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
B: "ipv6.disable=1" added to list of kernel parameters in
/boot/grub/menu.lst
DNS issues A request, but not AAAA request.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1: lo: mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo
inet 127.0.0.2/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host secondary lo
2: eth0: mtu 1492 qdisc pfifo_fast
state UP qlen 1000
link/ether 00:07:e9:6b:40:96 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.2.6/24 brd 192.168.2.225 scope global eth0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In other words, when IPv6 is *really* disabled (case B above), the
following lines are missing:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
