If you have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for a computer,
list the IPv6 first in the hosts file, so that it gets priority. I don't use the hosts file anywhere, but I think IPv6 is given priority by default (by way of /etc/gai.conf).
I haven't configured that file, but I found that having IPv4 listed first caused it to be used. Also, not everything here is a linux box where I can change that file. I also have a smart phone & tablet and occasionally run my notebook with Windoes 7. So, putting IPv6 in hosts is a trivial matter. Also, I only do that on the computer that's my firewall/router/dns server/dhcp server/ntp server/IPv6 tunnel end point.. I generally don't worry about the hosts files on other computers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
