Description

When the "Allow IPv6" checkbox is disabled under System --> Advanced --> Networking, the firewall will continue to try and query DNS against the DNS Resolver on ::1, even though this is blocked. This results in failed or delayed DNS queries unless you choose "Ignore Local, Use Remote" from the DNS Resolution behavior. Disabling IPv6 on the firewall should also turn off the firewall trying to use IPv6 localhost addressing for DNS queries.
