It just struck me: did you mean "IPv6" vs "IPV4" here as servers that respond
with A and AAAA records, or are they simply servers you access over IPv4 and
IPv6 and they can both respond with any type of records?

Because if the latter, then it sounds like a c-ares bug, but in the earlier
case I don't really see an easy solution other than for your application to
somehow detect this and drop IPv6 use going forward.
