Do you use IPv6? Maybe not. The only possibility to prevent IPv6 queries
is to disable IPv6 on the participant hosts. You can do so by adding

install ipv6 /bin/true

to the /etc/modprobe.conf.

As an alternate

alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off

are valid entries too. The quickest way would be a reboot to prevent the
module loading, as unloading the ipv6 module is not that easy due to
dependencies by other modules.
