By default, an IPv6-aware Wget will use the address family specified by the host's DNS record. If the DNS responds with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, Wget will try them in sequence until it finds one it can connect to. (Also see "--prefer-family" option described below.) GNU Wget...
When the preferred family is "IPv4", the IPv4 address is used first; when the preferred family is "IPv6", the IPv6 address is used first; if the specified value is "none", the address order returned by DNS is used without change. Unlike -4 and -6, this option doesn't inhibit ...
--bind-dns-address=ADDRESS [libcares only] This address overrides the route for DNS requests. If you ever need to circumvent the standard settings from /etc/resolv.conf, this option together with --dns-servers is your friend. ADDRESS must be specified either as IPv4 or IPv6 address. Wget...

ADDRESS must be specified either as IPv4 or IPv6 address. Wget needs to be built with libcares for this option to be available. --dns-servers=ADDRESSES [libcares only] The given address(es) override the standard nameserver addresses, e.g. as configured in /etc/resolv.conf. ADDRESSES may...
GNU Wget 1.14 Last change: 2014-06-17 13 GNU Wget WGET(1) These options can be used to deliberately force the use of IPv4 or IPv6 address families on dual family systems, usually to aid debugging or to deal with broken network configuration. Only one of --inet6-only and --inet4-...
