> However, I don't think this should be the solution to the original
problem, though; getaddrinfo() should only return an IPv6 address if there
is a configured IPv6 interface (and vice versa), no matter what
resolv.conf says.
This raises some interesting questions.
Do we return the IPv6 address if:
A) we detect a configured IPv6 interface?
B) we detect a configured IPv6 global scope ip on an interface?
C) we detect an IPv6 gateway?
* A is definitely tripped up when you have link local addresses.
* C may prevent usage of valid IPv6 addresses if they resolve on the local
lan.
Seems the only one that makes sense is B. Axel, do we have address scope?
