Package: 6tunnel
Version: 0.11rc2-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm trying to make 6tunnel listen on an IPv6 address and forward the connection
to an IPv4 (only) host, but 6tunnel tells me it can't resolve the target host:

# 6tunnel -6 -v 84 ftp.de.debian.org 80
resolving ftp.de.debian.org
6tunnel: unable to resolve host ftp.de.debian.org
#

The target host is resolvable, I tried with both IPv4 and IPv6 DNS servers,
e.g.:

# host ftp.de.debian.org
ftp.de.debian.org has address 141.76.2.4
#

The examples in the man page do it the other way around: Listening on an IPv4
address and forwarding to an IPv6 address. But it also says that if "-6" is
given, the other direction is also valid. So the above should
work, IMHO.

Thanks for considering.

bye,
  Roland
