Not at all.

You can check the DNS situation using dig:

   dig www.google.com any

This will show you everything found in the DNS for the name
"www.google.com". Look for records of type A and AAAA. Then try
connecting to those addresses literally (put the IPv6 addresses in
square brackets).

That's a start...
