------- Additional Comments From aurelien at aurel32 dot net  2008-04-07 18:40 -------
Please consider the following testcase:

#include <netdb.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
   if( gethostbyname( "127.0.0.1" ) == NULL )
      printf( "error: %d\n", (int)h_errno );
   else
      printf( "found\n" );

   if( gethostbyname( "::1" ) == NULL )
      printf( "error: %d\n", (int)h_errno );
   else
      printf( "found\n" );
}

Numeric IPv4 addresses are left unchanged. That's not the case for IPv6 
addresses.
