Here is the evidence: This is most likely because 7.0 now installs the address selection policy table at boot time by default: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/defaults/rc.conf.diff?r1=1.304&r2=1.305 Now if you have (which I guess is your network configuration) A. a global IPv4 address and B. a 6to4 IPv6 address, and have a candidate destination addresses C. a global IPv4 address (like 210.226.20.15) D. a native global IPv6 address (like 2001:218:422:1::15) then getaddrinfo() will prefer the combination of {A and C} because these addresses have a matching scope while B and D don't. If you make sure the 6to4 source address always wins, you should modify the policy table to: Prefix Precedence Label ::1/128 50 0 ::/0 40 1 2002::/16 30 1 ::/96 20 3 ::ffff:0:0/96 100 4 (i.e., change the label of 2002::/16).
