Hi List.
I am setting up a machine to act as a gateway.
When a nated host that took it´s ip from the dnsmas dhcp
 asks for a.com dnsmasq tries first to resolve an [AAAA] a.com
After receiving the <NODATA>-IPv6 dnsmas tries a.com.mylocaldomain.
Needless to say it takes 20 seconds to resolve something.
In the end it tries [A] a.com and success...

Here is an extract from the syslog.
May  3 21:02:35 localhost dnsmasq[3888]: query[AAAA] www.uba.ar from

May  3 21:02:35 localhost dnsmasq[3888]: reply www.uba.ar is <NODATA>-IPv6

www.uba.ar.wirshaper.wirserver.com.ar from 172.16.0.253

www.uba.ar.wirshaper.wirserver.com.ar to 200.68.216.15
May  3 21:02:55 localhost dnsmasq[3888]: query[A] www.uba.ar from
172.16.0.253
May  3 21:02:55 localhost dnsmasq[3888]: forwarded www.uba.ar to
200.68.216.15
May  3 21:02:55 localhost dnsmasq[3888]: forwarded www.uba.ar to
208.51.140.15
May  3 21:02:55 localhost dnsmasq[3888]: reply www.uba.ar is 157.92.44.2
May  3 21:02:55 localhost dnsmasq[3888]: query[A] www.uba.ar from 127.0.0.1
May  3 21:02:55 localhost dnsmasq[3888]: cached www.uba.ar is 157.92.44.2

See that it took 20 seconds in the whole process...
Timeout the [AAAA] and the querying again for the real query concatenated
with my lan domain.
In any case I have not an IPV6 enabled host and I was trying to go
www.uba.ar with Firefox. I have just noticed that if I use
dig www.uba.com.ar it receives a standard [A] query and works ok

Where could be the problem? How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.
Sebastian
