It should just work as long as your IPv6 setup is not broken. E.g. as long as nothing in your network advertises a IPv6 default route AND doesn't provide ICMP6 failures, it will behave. It might also be a saner option to just always use getaddrinfo() and one of the fallback implementations that emulate getaddrinfo based on gethostbyname etc. That has the big advantage of keeping the main code #if free.
