Description Pav Lucistnik 2006-10-18 15:29:47 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When connecting to a news server, which have both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivy, from computer, where IPv6 stack is configured, but where is no IPv6 connectivity (majority of Linux/UNIX installs today), pan does no try to connect via IPv4 after connect attempt on IPv6 failed.

Steps to reproduce:
$ host news.vol.cz
news.vol.cz has address 195.250.128.45
news.vol.cz has IPv6 address 2001:1508:1003:a::2

Actual results:
$ pan
** Message: Connect failed: No route to host
** Message: Connect failed: Invalid argument
** Message: couldn't create a socket.


Expected results:
$ telnet news.vol.cz 119
Trying 2001:1508:1003:a::2...
telnet: connect to address 2001:1508:1003:a::2: No route to host
Trying 195.250.128.45...
Connected to news.vol.cz.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 news.vol.cz InterNetNews NNRP server INN 2.4.1 ready (posting ok).
QUIT
205 .
Connection closed by foreign host.


Does this happen every time?
