Obviously the DNS requests shouldn't happen in the first place. It's

cheers
IPv6 addresses are supposed to be bracketed when
used within an URI.
Otherwise a parser wouldn't be able to tell if an optional port was
given or not. Compare http://2620:0:2d0:200::8/ vs
http://[2620:0:2d0:200::8]/ vs http://2620:0:2d0:200::8:80/ vs
http://[2620:0:2d0:200::8]:80/. See RFC 2732.
sure, when ipv6 address appears in URI, the brackets are needed to
surround it, but give me a reference where dns request can contain such
a bracketed name.
