<div>As previously mentioned on the list (in response to this post on
MacFixit), QuickDNS doesn't use this boot script. Instead, edit the
PARAMS line near the top of this file:</div>
<div> /Library/StartupItems/QuickDNS/named</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The line loos like this:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>PARAMS=""</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Change it to:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>PARAMS="-4"</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>It has also been reported that the -4 command line option for
named is only available with BIND 9.3.0 and later, and doesn't
(shouldn't) work with BIND 9.2.3.</div>

a very simple fix (if you don't mind editing OS config files) was to
modify the /System/Library/StartupItems/BIND/BIND file to add the '-4'
option to named, which forces it to only use IPV4. For example, the
first part of the file normally looks like this:</font></blockquote>
