[squid-users] Squid 3.1 failover problem from IPv6 to IPv4?

Hello!

We use Squid 3.1.12 on a couple of servers with IPv4 and IPv6.
The servers are FreeBSD 8.1. Squid is installed from ports.

This works fine, except for this web: www.informator.se
www.informator.se has an AAAA address, but it doesn't seem to
listen to it. Eventually the browser times out with this error:
(51) Network is unreachable

But shouldn't Squid try the IPv4 address when the IPv6 address
fails? If so, there is maybe something wrong with our config.
The only IPv6 specific config we have is this (taken from the
release notes of Squid 3.1):
acl to_ipv6 dst ipv6
http_access allow to_ipv6 !all
tcp_outgoing_address x:x:x::x to_ipv6
tcp_outgoing_address x.x.x.x !to_ipv6

Is the failure on www.informator.se a bug/feature in Squid,
or is the problem in our setup/config?

Thanks!
