Hi!

Routing tables

ff02::/16          localhost          UGRS        lo0

You probably have a misconfigured DNS server somewhere, or you have edited /etc/hosts wrong. The offending line should have been:
::ffff:0.0.0.0/96 localhost UGRS lo0

The netstat command took the address ::ffff:0.0.0.0, performed a reverse DNS lookup, and got the answer "www.google..." from somewhere. If I remember right, reverse DNS lookups first go to the hosts file, and then to the DNS service. First, check your /etc/hosts file, and then manually perform the command "host ::ffff:0.0.0.0". If you get a DNS answer to that query, you need to drill down which broken DNS server told you that.

In the future, to prevent the output of netstat being reverse DNS translated, you can use "netstat -arn" instead.

Thank you very much. I forgot that once I put in etc/hosts:

0.0.0.0 www.google-analytics.com                                                                  
0.0.0.0 google-analytics.com
