Bug ID: 17083
Summary: /etc/hosts file should support IPv6 link-local
addresses
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: network
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: bugdal at aerifal dot cx
In order for IPv6 link-local addresses to be usable, they need a scope_id
identifying the associated link, e.g. %eth0. The /etc/hosts file is the de
facto standard way to add names for easily accessing hosts on a local network,
but it's not usable for link-local addresses because it does not accept a scope
id. Could support for including a scope_id in /etc/hosts be added?
