I've got an odd DNS issue. I'm running a dual ipv4/ipv6 environment on Linux.

Pinging some sites results in ping pinging 127.0.0.1. e.g.

#> ping authserver.mojang.com
PING authserver.mojang.com (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.045 ms
64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.043 ms
64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.058 ms
--- authserver.mojang.com ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2000ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.043/0.048/0.058/0.010 ms

Dig, however correctly returns the following:

# dig authserver.mojang.com

; <<>> DiG 9.9.3-P2 <<>> authserver.mojang.com

I'm confused! My web browser returns the correct website, and the same computer booted into Windows also works correctly.
