Except they are not failure.  IPv4 only servers won't send to them
so there are no failures.  If the kernel supports IPv4 and IPv6 and
you don't have IPv6 turned on the sendmsg/sendto will generate a
immediate error and you just move onto the next server (old versions
of Solaris are broken here) as there is no route.  If you are running
dual stack internally and don't have external connectivity then you
will get some timeouts if the nameserver can't see the ICMP unreachables
but even then it's millseconds rather than seconds.
