There is a patch for nss-mdns which makes it work by implementing _nss_gethostbyname4_r(), which is the only way to pass through the IPv6 scope ID. However, while it works for lookups with family AF_UNSPEC, it doesn't work for family AF_INET6. It turns out that getaddrinfo() is calling _nss_gethostbyname4_r() only for lookups with family AF_UNSPEC. But for family AF_INET6, it is calling _nss_gethostbyname2_r() instead. It really should always call _nss_gethostbyname4_r() for any IPv6 look-ups, in order to get the IPv6 scope ID. It used to work, however, I've traced the problem to glibc git commit 8479f23aa1. http://repo.or.cz/w/glibc.git/commit/8479f23aa1d5e5477a37f46823856bdafaedfa46 In that commit, it was changed to only use _nss_gethostbyname4_r() for AF_UNSPEC, and not AF_INET6. That breaks IPv6 scope ID retrieval. Can we revert that change? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
