Hi, Currently, if you call getaddrinfo() with AF_UNSPEC, we search at first through the whole service chain for a IPv6 address and than for a IPv4 one. This means, even if the IPv4 is in /etc/hosts, we will make a DNS query for the IPv6 address. All other getaddrinfo() implementations uses always the same service for both addresses. Which means, if the IPv4 address is found in /etc/hosts, getaddrinfo will not make a DNS query for the IPv6 address (if you have "hosts: files dns" in /etc/nsswitch.conf). The appended patch fixes this for glibc.
