>Release:        FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT i386
>Organization:
UUNET
>Environment:

FreeBSD-current as-of 29 Feb 2000, IPv6 configured

>Description:

If a host has both A and AAAA records in the DNS, then tcpdump will
complain that you're trying to apply the 'ip' modifier to an ip6
host.	Curiously, the reverse also breaks:

>How-To-Repeat:

	# tcpdump ip host whizzo.transsys.com
	tcpdump: 'ip' modifier applied to ip6 host

	# tcpdump ip6 host whizzo.transsys.com
	tcpdump: 'ip6' modifier applied to ip host


>Fix:

or at least a work-around

	tcpdump ip and host whizzo.transsys.com

but this is ugly and not backwards compatible.
