Hi.

Starting from the last upgrade (0.96.3 on debian) freshclam randomly chooses
between ipv6/ipv4 connecting to the name that has addresses in both
protocols.

freshclam uses getaddrinfo() for resolving mirror dns name (wwwconnect in
manager.c), but then it randomizes the list returned as a result.
This way it breaks the algorithm of ipv6 address selection from rfc3484
implemented in getaddrinfo().

What is the reason for doing this?


Regards,
        Jacek
