Squid3 to prefer IPV4 but still go for IPV6

Hi all,

I've googled and got instructions on how to set it so that whenever I'm visiting website with both IPV4 and IPV6, squid should be using IPV4 instead of IPV6.
But after changes and restart,squid always go for IPV6.

I have done changes following this guide http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/IPv6
and other guide.

Any help would be appreciated.

Below is my squid.conf

    Maybe /etc/gai.conf

    Put this there:

    precedence ::ffff:0:0/96  100

    I believe Squid is not affected by gai.conf (due to not using the system resolver functions which are configured by it), evident by the fact it will go for 6to4 (2002::) IPv6 addresses over IPv4, even though that shouldn't be the case.

    Thanked by 1rds100
