CAn the tests please be changed to assume that IPv6 is not always
avvailable and AAAA lookup may fail ? There are many people using
networks without IPv6 available. These tests usually fail or hang on my
systems.

It would be better if the tests did not rely on external connectivity,
and did not need to contact google.com gratuitously.
