[squid-users] IPv6 happy eyeball on dualstack host

[sachin gupta]

Hi

We are shifting to IPv6 dual stack hosts. As per squid documentation
<https://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/IPv6>, IPv6 is enabled by default. I
tried a request on www.google.com which has both IPv4 and IPv6 address.
As per documentation, based on DNS response squid will try both IP4 and
IPv6 if DNS return both addresses. But I see that squid is only getting
IPv4 address though with dis command I can see IPv6 address as well. Also
from same host, I am able to make curl command to google using IPv6.
