You'll have to provide more information.  strace output,
wireshark/tcpdump logs, ...

The problem I saw and which I fixed was that the server answering for
that domain deliberately doesn't reply to IPv6 (T_AAAA) queries.  I.e.,
it depends on the client to time out.  That's terribly bad practice and
the provider should change that.

Anyway, I think I fixed that in the new lookup code and, as I said, it
works for me.  I cannot imagine what you're seeing.

So, make really sure you're using the -4 rpms and then run

   strace -o LOG getent ahosts www.newegg.com

and also capture the net traffic (just port 53 data) and stuff it all
into a new BZ.
