Default Weird DNS Problem, Timeouts ipv6?

Hi Everyone,
I just installed a brand new completely default OpenBSD 4.0/i386 system.
I have not changed any settings on it other than X, install bash, etc,
ie, nothing that should bother the network. It's connect to my network
where I have a OpenWRT router handing out dhcp(dnsmasq) and the
linux/windows/mac/etc machines on the network all work fine.

During install I netbooted and installed from ftp seemingly with no
problems. However, when installing packages from ports I noticed that it
took a long time to start to download the package, leading me to think
there was maybe a DNS problem. Upon investigations with lynx, ftp, and
ssh I found out that DNS takes a very long time (>60s) to resolve.
However, dig and ping both return IPs immediately. With some help from
#openbsd, I stumbled on the -4 option for ssh, without the option it
takes a very long time to ask my password, with -4 the password prompt
appears in <.5 seconds. This leads me to think there is some ipv6 problem...

I haven't touched the network settings on this machine and am not doing
anything with ipv6 on my router/network. Any ideas? This is a really
aggravating bug.

Thanks so much
Mike
