Package: oping
Version: 1.4.0-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
Even though oping seems to be using getaddrinfo(3) already, it does
not appear to make use of or respect /etc/gai.conf.
By default then, if a host has both AAAA and A records, oping would
use IPv6 over IPv4. If one wanted it the other way around, one would
modify the precedence in /etc/gai.conf (see gai.conf(5)).
My default is for IPv6, but oping pings using IPv4 if it has the
choice.
Thanks,
