Hi all,

I am in the migrating my services to IPv6. I have pretty much everything
moved except for bacula.

I have convinced the fd, sd and director to listen on :: and am able to
connect to them through their v6 addresses. However, it seems that when
a host has both A and AAAA records in DNS, bacula prefers the A record
and hence falls back to IPv4.

I found one message to bacula-user from january 2008 at
http://marc.info/?l=bacula-users&m=119945566132053&w=2 that confirms
this behavior. There was no discussion as to why this was so.

In my opinion this behavior is broken and prevents proper migration.
However, I assume there must be some reason why this behavior was
chosen, so I am interested in hearing it's rationale.

I intend to patch this behavior and deploy the patched versions to my
hosts. If there is consensus that this behavior is undesireable, or no
reply is received, I will submit the patch here for discussion.

Kind regards,
Davíð Steinn Geirsson
