So the server sends back two records instead of one, and the client just discards the one it can't use. That's not very efficient (stupid server!) Thanks for the clarification ;-)
Computers are stupid, they only do what they're told :-) The server just answers the query - if the client asked for both kinds of addresses (which an IPv6-aware application would), that's what the server will respond with (if available). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
