Problem with DNS and IPv6

Hi,

I've got a problem with Windows Vista SP1 using IPv6.

I'm getting IPv6 addresses over LAN (stateless and stateful) incl.
IPv6-DNS-Server.

As long as I've got only the LAN online I can access e.g.
http://ipv6.google.com

But as soon as I bring my WLAN online which only gets IPv4 I'm loosing
access to IPv6 websites in both IE7 and Firefox.
The metric wasn't changed: 10 LAN, 25 WLAN.

Using tcpdump I see that the local dns resolver sends the dns-queries for
ipv6.google.com over WLAN - just asking for A-records.

How can I avoid this behavior? To my opinion I shouldn't loose IPv6
DNS-resolution if I bring a device with a higher metric online
