When a particular host is dual-stacked and only the hostname is given to IM,
it seems to always select the IPv4 address of the target. Is there any way
of modifying IM's behaviour to select the IPv6 address if it exists in DNS
without specifying the IPv6 address explicitly? If this preference could be
selected per host or even per map, that would be cool.
Actually, after some more thought, three other useful variants to the
above would be to loop through all DNS addresses and probe each one and
then return success if a) ANY address is successful, or b) ALL addresses
are successful, or c) at least one IPv4 AND one IPv6 address are
succesful. The optimal dual-stack client behaviour trying to reach a
dual-stack host is to loop through all addresses to make a connection and
IM should have some means of verifying that behaviour.
