Perhaps, you want to try IPv4 1st with not only for fetch(1).  If you
are using FreeBSD 5.3 or later with IPv6 enabled kernel, please try
ip6addrctl(8) instead.  You can configure to see IPv4 address 1st
using it.  Just putting ip6addrctl_enable="YES" into your /etc/rc.conf
without ipv6_enable="YES" do the trick.
