Since going some OS and package upgrades, I am now getting errors when
try to connect with a previously very stable script.
When I do a $mech->get($URL), it returns "Bad hostame". However the
hostname does resolve when using nslookup or dig.
So while running my script I also ran wireshark to see what was
happening... the only thing I noticed was that DNS queries were going
for AAAA records (IPv6) first... getting nothing back because there is
no IPv6 on the requested machine, and then doing a query for the "A"
record, which returns with the IP address. But the $mech->get() does
not seem to pick up on the "A" IP address.
