Hello.

I have noticed a little inconsistency between com2sec and com2sec6 when
used with domain names that map to multiple addresses.

Assume the following (admittedly absurd) configuration

com2sec test4 www.google.com test4
com2sec6 test6 ipv6.google.com test6

Both host names return multiple ip addresses.

The result of the com2sec directive is that the first returned IPv4
address is added.

The result of the com2sec6 directive is that all the returned IPv6
address is added.

This seem to be inconsistent so my first question is 

Is there any technical reason for the difference?

If not I  would like to know what action to take:

1) Keep it as is
2) Make both add all addresses
3) Make both add only the first returned address

The advantage of #1 is that we preserve the current behavior.
The advantage of #2 is that we remove the random element from the
configuration.
The advantage of #3 is that it preserves the IPv4 behavior and is
somewhat simpler to implement than #2.
