This appears to be a bacula-fd bug, as best I can tell.  Perhaps somebody can 
shed some enlightenment as to how I might get around it?

We have a bacula server running v4 and v6, with an A and AAAA record.  All 
functional clients are IPv4 and are working great.

I'm trying to add a hosts that backs up via IPv6.  (It doesn't have IPv4 
reachability to the server)  The client still dual-stack however.

I can use FDAddresses in the bacula-fd.conf on the client to prevent the client 
from listening on its IPv4 address.  However, when I actually try to run a 
backup, the client contacts the SD by name and ignores the AAAA record for the 
SD.  Even though the FD is not bound to an IPv4 address, it still attempts to 
use IPv4 to connect to the SD, since there is an A record present.  Since 
there's no IPv4 reachability, the operation times out and the backup hangs.

Suggestions?

Ideally, it seems is an FD is configured to only listen on an ipv6 address, it 
shouldn't attempt to connect to the SD on IPv4.  (More to the point, I'd think 
it would try to connect via whichever address family the server contacted it on 
to kick off the backup)

Thanks,
Dylan
