And that isn't a server failure? https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/714121 was issued in 2003 about this.

Which is Happy Eyeballs. Just because HE isn't what Apple experimented with doesn't make my statement was wrong. Apple has never implemented HE. It's implemented something that is HE like but not HE. Apple actually got complaints about that. A bit like the load balancers implemented something that was like a DNS server but wasn't actually a DNS server. They implements a A record server and failed to handle all the other types as required by RFC 1034. > Now, nine years later, Tommy Pauly and David Schinazi thought it was > about time we shared the remainder of the relevant information with the > community.
