One problem with gai.conf is, that this file will not be changed dynamically by DHCP. So mobile laptop users have to change it manually, if they change the network and if the IPv4/IPv6 connectivity changes. 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
