Did Apple use their version of Happy Eyeballs on the iPads? ISTR they cache certain timeouts, so if IPv6 was failing before it may take awhile for it to become preferred again. /TJ On Thu, Sep 20, 2012 at 9:37 PM, Seth Mattinen <sethm@rollernet.us> wrote:

Huh, so I come home and now I'm getting IPv6 from Verizon LTE. But I definitely wasn't at the office. I verified with an app called "IT Tools" that shows the interfaces and routing table, plus it does traceroute/ping. Maybe the nearest tower over there doesn't support IPv6? Odd.
Safari on the iPad seems to be preferring A over AAAA if a hostname has both, though. I can browse to a bracketed IPv6 address so it is working.
