Windows 7: Dns Cache ipv4 and ipv6

Dns Cache ipv4 and ipv6

hey guys, i've been wondering about this. Say that my windows box already has an entry for ip address of some host , say host A , in dns cache. The ip address format is in version 4 (IPv4). But then, i'm connected to IPv6 and IPv4 capable networks. As i know, if windows has 2 type of ip connection, IPv6 and IPv4, it will default use the IPv6.

so my question is, will my box try to resolv the ip address of host A for IPv6 address, or will it simply use the IPv4 one in dns cache,,

thanks, best regards
