This is normal.

This is also normal.

If you want to do a complete check of a service on a dual-stack host you 
really do need to explicitly specify the host by every IP address you 
intend it to be listening on since the client's ultimate choice of which 
address to choose, if you simply leave it up to DNS and the client, is 
variable.
