No, sorry, it's changed from the real address. The point was to observe
aorta timing out a connection while torsocks connecting ok. I found
unpredictable. But happening enough to create doubt in what aorta is
doing.

Well, you have discrepancies also. Why is the behavior different? Aren't
both connections going through same tor?

Doesn't telnet look for IPV6 if IPV4 fails? Where it got lookup, I can't
say. What does aorta do when IPV6 is requested?
