I've no idea if this is new or has always been this way, but if I do a basic (IPv4) ping to idnet.com it works perfectly, but with an IPv6 one (ping6) I get "nodename nor servname provided, or not known", suggesting no IPv6 record on the DNS server?

But browsing to idnet.com shows the connection as being being over IPv6... :dunno:

Main DNS is Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) with Google (8.8.8.8) as backup.

Doesn't happen on other sites I've tried and it's not causing any issue that I can see, it just seems odd.
