Hi Gregor,

Attached is the patch, relative to current CVS, which would be
committed to initially support using ipV6 servers. Its basically your
work, with some minor adjustments.

Please verify that it works as intended, or if something else needs
firther adjusting before committing.

You've also mentioned some doc's would be provided.

As you have already mentioned it breaks ABI compatibility due to the
change it introduces in one of the ares_options structure member. Yes
the affected member is the 'servers' member which changes its data
type. And the change is unavoidable if we want to support ipv6
servers.

Daniel,

Probable sobump required when this is committed.

Commit after Gregor's testing or keep on hold?
