Hi.

I just tried with LibDCAP version: 2.47.8-1_2013113019 from debian,... 
but there seem to be a lot of issues when dual stack is enabled.
- when using the v4 address literal of the door it works
- when using the hostname (which has A and AAAA RRs) dccp segfaults
- when trying to use a v6 address literal... well I guess there is some URL 
parser issue, since when you do e.g.
dccp -d7 -A gsidcap://[2001:4:a:9:1:2:3:0]/pnfs/lmu.de/atlas/sh XXXX
(using a fake IPv6 address for privacy issues)

It says something about
Failed to add IO tunnel (/usr/lib/dcap/0: cannot open shared object file: No 
such file or directory). Provider: [0].


I mean dccp should IMHO basically work as all other network clients that deal 
with v4/v6.
- support both types of address literals
- when a dns name is given, that resolves to both, A and AAAA, then it should 
prefer the address
  family as set by the underlying OS (and not doing any own smartness)... and 
when it does so and the first try
  fails, it should try the other family
- there should be -4 and -6 command line switches to enforce an address family.


Cheers,
Chris.
