I'd thought about adapting the loop that converts v4 addresses to v6 to operate in both directions and delete v6 addresses from the list, but that's a lot more work and more error-prone. I guess we could do your check but it doesn't really matter, and in some sense the failures might be "nice to see" in strace to show that the system is misconfigured (can't send to the requested v6 nameserver).

Yes.. failing here would require running through the list and checking that there's at least one matching family, then figuring out what error code to return when there's not. I guess it would be EAI_SYSTEM with errno=EAFNOSUPPORT or something like that, or perhaps just ENOENT. The case where resolv.conf exists but has no nameservers (nns=0) is also not really handled right now and I'm not sure if the intent was for it to fail or behave as if resolv.conf was missing. Probably it should fail with something like ENOENT, or just continuing to timeout as it does now I guess..? Rich
