I am using OS X and many programs check my machine's fully qualified domain name while starting up.
It seems there is an issue with AAAA lookups.
But if I check for the IPv6 record:
I don't get an answer.
It seems like something is wrong with the DNS server on the router.
Can anyone help with this issue?

Does your router support IPv6 and is it switched on?

I'm not sure but I just received my Plusnet router this week. It's a Sagecom model.
I would assume that most routers support IPv6 even if the ISP isn't yet allocating subnets.
Is there any way to view the router's logs? I see I can access dsldevice.lan/expert_user.html but it doesn't really give access to logs etc.
This is causing lots of problems for me because important programs are starting up slowly.

Try disabling IPv6 on your client machines and see if this makes a difference. If you really *must* have names resolving on your local LAN you'd be far better off running a local DNS server rather than relying on your router.
