I just tried a simple test, and it sure seems to work. For lack of an rsync server that talks IPv6 and wants to talk to me, I can't actually verify the working. However, I see that it initiates an IPv6 connection: $ strace -o strace.out -f rsync bla www.xxxxx.net::bla excerpt from strace.out: 3006 recvfrom(3, "\f}\201\200\0\1\0\1\0\2\0\2\3www\5xxxxx\3net\0\0\1\0\1"..., 1024, 0, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.1.2")}, [16]) = 121 3006 close(3) = 0 3006 socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3 3006 connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(873), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "3ffe:xxxx:2000:1820::2", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, 28) = ?

I don't have any IPv6 addresses in my hosts file...
