I get about 15 seconds of delay before any websites come up because IPv6 is enabled by default for some reason.

2004.1, x86_64, and I have no special config in rc.conf, and using dhcp on eth0

ifconfig -a produces:

Code:
navi js # ifconfig -a
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:11:09:10:49:A1 
          inet addr:192.168.1.104  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::211:9ff:fe10:49a1/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:1877 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1361 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:2325601 (2.2 Mb)  TX bytes:146772 (143.3 Kb)
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0xbc00

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback 
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:200 (200.0 b)  TX bytes:200 (200.0 b)

sit0      Link encap:IPv6-in-IPv4 
          NOARP  MTU:1480  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)


how can I disable v6 by default?

I swear that as soon as I post something I find the answer myself :)

I had IPv6 support enabled in the kernel. Removing this solved the problem in its entirety.
