Description

*Description*:

I have an IPv6-only talos cluster. DNS resolution works fine in general and I can resolve the service name from other pods.

Envoy gateway pods are unable to reach the DNS server. I'm guessing it's attempting to contact the IPv4 server.

*Repro steps*:

Install gateway according to docs in IPv6-only cluster. Also include:

```
spec:
ipFamily: IPv6
```

in EnvoyProxy object.

*Environment*:

Gateway v1.7.2
Envoy v1.37.2

*Logs*:

```
