On 42.1 getent hosts resolves an LDAP IPv6 host as an IPv4 Host with an address
of 255.255.255.255

Atlas:~ # getent hosts |grep IPv6
255.255.255.255 Hagar.IPv6.RDTE.ctl Hagar.IPv6.RDTE

dn: cn=Hagar.IPv6.RDTE.ctl,ou=Hosts,dc=CTL,dc=CrewSystems
cn: Hagar.IPv6.RDTE.ctl
cn: Hagar.IPv6.RDTE
iphostnumber: XXXX:XXX:XXX:XXXX:20e:cff:fe33:2bec
macaddress: 00:0E:0C:33:2B:EC
objectclass: top
objectclass: ipHost
objectclass: device
objectclass: ieee802Device

The XXXX are to mask out my real ip.

Also I am not sure if it is a bug or a config option that I have not found, but
getent hosts does not show any IPv6 host info.  From 13.1 on getent (hosts
ahosts ahostsv4 ahostsv6) only shows IPv4 hosts and the output is the same for
each database.

Atlas:~ # getent hosts|wc -l
53
Atlas:~ # getent ahosts|wc -l
53
Atlas:~ # getent ahostsv4|wc -l
53
Atlas:~ # getent ahostsv6|wc -l
