Dear all:
When looking into kame-20070801-freebsd54-snap, the function,
_dns_getaddrinfo(), defined in getaddrinfo.c, will check if the device
gets any IPv4/global IPv6 address before sending out any A/AAAA query by
calling addrconfig() if the user does not specify the family type
(AF_UNSPEC). However, FreeBSD-CURRENT (known is going to be FreeBSD7.0),
does not do the process.
Do we need to do the same check before sending out the A/AAAA query?
Thanks.
BR,
Yi-Wen
