Dear all:

When looking into kame-20070801-freebsd54-snap, the function, 
_dns_getaddrinfo(), defined in getaddrinfo.c, will check if the device 
gets any IPv4/global IPv6 address before sending out any A/AAAA query by 
calling addrconfig() if the user does not specify the family type 
(AF_UNSPEC). However, FreeBSD-CURRENT (known is going to be FreeBSD7.0), 
does not do the process.

Do we need to do the same check before sending out the A/AAAA query?

Thanks.

BR,

Yi-Wen
