Sorry, why would gai.conf need to be changed? :-? A laptop use may connect the laptop in Network1 with IPv6 and IPv4 enabled and later in Network2, where only IPv4 is available. For instance, the German Telekom offers IPv4/IPv6 connectivity for business and home users and some other providers currently only offer IPv4. A laptop user expects, that the laptop network configuration will be automatically adapted by DHCP when he switches the network. Changing gai.conf is AFAIK not a standard feature of the Linux DHCP clients.
I see.
But surely changing gai.conf would only be necessary in those faulty environments where IPv6 addresses are handed out, but where the IPv6 network otherwise doesn't work ?
Well... I don't know what gai.conf is normally intended for, for I suppose that handling missing IPv6 is not the main one :-? - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
