So far I don't intend any modifications to NetworkManager in scope of this feature, except maybe address configuration format which has already been done.

I am working on thorough modifications to glibc's getaddrinfo, though. It unfortunately proved to fail in many ways. This is the main priority of the feature, followed by utility libraries (likeglib), and client and server applications.

Any help with clarification appreciated.
