Hello Andre!
in gentoo/funtoo it is
AG> in case your OS supports IPv6, it will be used.
in terms of just using glibc api yes, but in terms of eg dovecot/postfix/apache
there is more then just glibc api calls
AG> In case you don't like IPv6,
its not my point, i like ipv6 more then i can wait for binkd/qico to support it
natively
AG> just set bindaddress 0.0.0.0 and you shouldn't use IPv6 anymore.
very well, but i like this to be handled in glibc api call with makes sense to
do in c code
an good exaample on how is shown in bind (dns server tarball)
if i call it with -4 it does not use ipv6 servers, but it still can serve ipv6
dns querys
an more fun if i use -6 it only use ipv6 ns records, keep bad dns hosters out
of my spam box :=)
but force ipv6 ns to be on every valid good domain is silly, it just
consequense :=)
Regards Benny
... there can only be one way of life, and it works :)
AG> What are you missing?
./configure --help | grep ipv6, turns nothing up :(
