openssh unix dev - Dec 2002 - [Bug 451] New: new config-Option: IPv4or6

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=451

           Summary: new config-Option: IPv4or6
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.5p1
          Platform: All
               URL: http://www.toppoint.de/~wklaebe/ipv4or6-config-
                    3.5p1.diff
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: bugzilla at orion.toppoint.de


I wanted an option for my .ssh/config enabling me to say "use IPv6 for this
host". Basically, I looked what command line options -4 and -6 do in ssh
and made a config option out of it.

I fail to see the real usefulness of this command, as manual configuration 
on a host-basis seems like a big chore to me .. much bigger than just 
trying v6 and using it if AAAA records are found.
