Hello All!

when ipv6 fails and ipv4 works on the same hostname, does binkp try both ips if
one fails ?

glibc on linux default to ipv6 first

i just like to be sure it does


Regards Benny

It does, but there is a long wait before it switches to IPv4, in my experience.

That's tuneable in your binkd.conf, and not specific to IPv6.

#
# Delay of calls and outbound rescans in seconds

call-delay 1


And possibly:

#
# TCP settings. Leave this unchanged if not sure.
#
# Suffixes for time intervals are w for weeks, d for days,
# h for hours, m for minutes, s or no suffix for seconds.
# You can mix the suffixes, i.e. 1d12h is the same as 36h.

#timeout 5m
#connect-timeout 5m

Thanks, I had a feeling it was. Just not a high priority for me. :)
