Hi, Pavel,
I assume you're speaking of such addresses as ipv6%zone, as specified in RFC
4007. That RFC only specifies (hex) numeric addresses in standard ipv6 format,
folowed by a % and a zone id, that may be numeric, an interface name, or
somesuch.
Since the address can only be numeric, without involving any lookups, and that
and zone ids specified in that RFC are supported by existing getaddrinfo core
implementation, what would the point be of introducing a getaddrinfo interface
in the nss plugin interface?
