This may have been 'fixed' by the fact that glibc-2.3.3 has a proper implementation of RFC3484 and will actually return the addresses in order of the probability of being able to connect to them -- in particular, if there's an IPv6 global address and an IPv4 address in the RRset and you don't have a global IPv6 address of your own, it should return the IPv6 address of the host you're looking up last in the list. However, if gftp isn't bothering to try _all_ the addresses it's given, but instead is claiming failure when the first one isn't contactable, it still wants fixing. Evolution has the same problem. -- dwmw2
