Summary:                    Unable to use IPv4 addresses for a TCP host when
using IPv6
Description: 
This is kind of a weird edge case, and I think I might know why it's not
working.

I'm trying to "front end" my 1.6.2.10 Asterisk instance with Asterisk
1.8.0-beta4 for testing purposes and to allow IPv6 connectivity.

This is done on the same box.

The error I'm getting is the following:

..........SIP channel loading...
[2010-08-25 11:19:44] ERROR[20813]: netsock2.c:245 ast_sockaddr_resolve:
getaddrinfo("127.0.0.1", "(null)", ...): Address family for hostname not
supported
[2010-08-25 11:19:44] WARNING[20813]: acl.c:564 resolve_first: Unable to
lookup '127.0.0.1'




If I switch host=[some_ipv6_address] on the peer, the error goes away.
When using an IPv4 address, I get that error.

I've disabled srvlookup=yes and dnsmgr without success.

I understand. What you want is multiple SIP sockets. On your 1.8 box, one
socket would be IPv6-only and bound to an external address, while another
would be IPv4-only and bound to the loopback interface.

Sadly, the current chan_sip architecture doesn't allow this. We can only
ever have a single SIP socket. To lift this limit would require a *major*
architectural change.

This is also unrelated to IPv6.
