I'm not sure I see why sorting would make any difference. The complaint is that the AAAA name resolution itself takes a long time, not that it takes a long time to connect to the address returned by the resolver. The any/local-ipv6-lookup patch in Debian's glibc is really the only way to solve this, I think, but unfortunately that caused breakage (#441857). Roger, do you have any thoughts as to how these two apparently conflicting requirements (avoiding slow AAAA resolution for people with non-global IPv6 addresses who really have no meaningful IPv6 connectivity vs. people who actually care about local IPv6 services) might be reconciled?
