Recent versions of glibc will issue both ipv4 (A) and ipv6 (AAAA)
address queries at the same time, from the same port. Sometimes upstream
routers will systemically drop the ipv4 queries. The symptom of this problem is
that 'getent hosts example.com' only returns ipv6 (or perhaps only ipv4) addresses. The
workaround for this is to specify the option 'single-request' in
/etc/resolve.conf. This option enables that.
