Abstract
Systems and methods for the preferential selection or blocking of Internet Protocol (IP) version addresses, e.g., IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, are provided. During a process where address or domain name resolution is performed, an entity may access a domain bypass list to ascertain whether or not to proceed with requests utilizing an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or neither. Such a list may be dynamically or manually created and/or updated such that known issues associated with the use of a particular type of IP version address can be avoided for subsequent resolution requests to access network resources such as web pages, DNS entries, etc.
