Jeremy Kister updated ASTERISK-21065:
-------------------------------------

    Assignee: Rusty Newton  (was: Jeremy Kister)
      Status: Triage  (was: Waiting for Feedback)

rusty, "Waiting for Feedback" for what?  i've identified the problem and we know that removing localhost from ::1 hides the issue.

it's arguable how to fix the issue, and depending on how it's fixed a blurb in UPGRADE.txt may be needed.

I'm not versed on IPv4 -> IPv6 transition semantics, so I don't know if the "proper" or "well accepted" way of fixing this is to loop through  getaddrinfo until connect succeeds or it runs out of hosts as cloos mentioned.

I would probably suggest this /only/ be changed by adding a comment in UPGRADE.TXT.  It should mention ipv6 taking precedence over ipv4 and "localhost" is the most common thing that may need tweaking if the daemon is not ipv6 enabled.

perhaps something in configure could also check for localhost in /etc/hosts to see if it is multihomed (send a well visible warning, but not an error)
