In my opinion, AI_ADDRCONFIG is a useful default flag and prevents unneccessary delay and lookups. > 2. document "::1" and any other link-local addresses and hostnames as > invalid if APR_UNSPEC is used. This is not true, see my other mail. > 3. retry without AI_ADDRCONFIG if first try fails This sucks. I prefer this: 4. Add APR_NUMERIC_ADDRESS, and set the AI_NUMERICHOST hint, when passed *don't* set AI_ADDRCONFIG. Document that people who want to perform a literal IP translation - regardless of connectivity - should use it. E.g., if I want to turn "::1" into a structure I can use and I totally don't care if I have general IPv6 connectivity or if I even have connectivity to ::1 itself, I should use this flag. -- Colm MacCárthaigh Public Key: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
