I've never used ipv6 seriously so while I can read the specification for how the interfaces are supposed to behave, I don't have any good intuition beyond that. I know AI_ADDRCONF is not supported, and should be. I also know glibc has experienced a lot of bugs with it not behaving as expected, so this one probably requires some attention to the details. Apparently ipv6 has some sort of "scope" which I don't understand, and which I don't think we handle now. The AI_V4MAPPED and AI_ALL flags are not supported at all yet, but they seem pretty straightforward. Anything else? Rich
