      Connections that do not use an IP address are failing on some Windows 10 systems.

      The reported problem is with specifying the family as ipv6 or not specifying a family:

      dns.lookup(host, (error, address, 6))
dns.lookup(host, (error, address))

      The default fallback from ipv6 to ipv4 is not working with hostnames (IP addresses succeed). One possible workaround is to drop support for ipv6:

      dns.lookup(host, (error, address, 4))
