I'm using RedHat 8, and the only way I have configured my IPv6 interfaces is 
if some RPM did it.

Is there a config file I can send you?  "locate IPv6" turned up nothing.

I believe /etc/hosts.  How can I know for sure?

I don't know.  Sorry, I'm not helping much!  I'd like to, but I have no 
experience with IPv6.  Can you give me more specific requests?  Or perhaps 
direct me to a tutorial?

I could try modifying the 20 second timeouts in /etc/nscd.conf and see if the 
behavor changes--would that help?  Right now, the only two set to 20 seconds 
are:

negative-time-to-live   passwd          20
negative-time-to-live   hosts           20
