For my Ubuntu 7 machine, the DNS resolution was not working on IPv6. This is a 2007
release that I don't want to upgrade.
Check and see if a 'dig -aaaa www.site-u-want.com' resolves to a valid address.
That was one of my first clue that something was wrong.
I did not do much investigation for the Mac. Quick cure (not a fix) for my needs at the
time.

Just curious if something specifically is broken or non-fixable with the 10.6.8 IPv6
stack?
I'm specifically wondering if you did any troubleshooting to resolve this? Or if
just disabling IPv6 was the quick'n'dirty answer?
I?m pretty helpless with networking, so I can?t comment on either AT&T's or
Apple?s implementations. As you say, disabling IPv6 was the Quick?n?dirty answer. If
network-aware folks have tests to suggest, I can use the G3 on 10.4.8 as a guinea pig.
We figured this out Friday night; my wife plans to contact AT&T (and the Apple Genius
Bar) Monday. I?ll report if they have any suggestions.
I will say that my MacBook Pro (definitely off-topic) never hiccupped, and it is running
OS X 10.9.5, so somewhere between 10.6.8 and 10.9.5, Apple?s implementation seems to have
changed to be compatible with AT&T?s (new) implementation.
