When passing in a compressed IPv6 string like "2001:4860:4860::8888" to
ares_set_servers_csv everything to the right of the first ":" in "::" is
stripped and interpreted as part of the port for the entry.
Is the intended behavior to require an IPv6 address in uncompressed
notation, or is this merely a bug?
On a tangent, is there any interest in actually supporting specifying the
port to be used? Conceptually I like the idea, but in practice I can't
imagine many people using it.
