getaddrinfo

[Jan Mikael Melen]

Hi,

I'm having problems with getaddrinfo call. 

When resolving multiple IPv6 addresses that are specified in /etc/hosts, the 
response from getaddrinfo call contains only the first address not the whole 
list. If I'll configure the corresponding addresses in to DNS I'll get all 
the addresses as a response.

Here is an example:

Resolving from /etc/hosts
/etc/hosts:
1ffe::10 oneffeten
1ffe:1000:0001:10 oneffeten
1ffe:1000:0002:10 oneffeten

# ./test_libc -h oneffeten -6 -a
Searching for oneffeten... (using getaddrinfo)
1ffe::10
done
#

Resolving from DNS:
DNS records:
oneffeten       IN      AAAA    1ffe:1000:1::10
                IN      AAAA    1ffe:1000:2::10
                IN      AAAA    1ffe::10

# ./test_libc -h oneffeten.domain.com -6 -a
Searching for oneffeten.domain.com... (using getaddrinfo)
1ffe:1000:1::10
1ffe:1000:2::10
1ffe::10
done
#

Does anyone have any good pointers what am I doing wrong or what might be 
causing that getaddrinfo doesn't return all known addresses of the host?

Is there some limitation that host can have only one address in /etc/hosts?

  regards,
	Jan
