pkg.freebsd.org via IPv6

[h v]

Hi,

it took me a while to find out why 'pkg update' et.al seem hanging from
time to time for the last two month or so..

it's just that pkg.freebsd.org is not reachable via IPv6 (at least from
time to time).

'pkg -4 update' works flawless and immediately..

is this a known problem ?
