binkd relies on getaddrinfo (as any other UNIX tool dealing with sockets) which
in turn returns addresses sorted in accordance with RFC3484. I'm not saying you
can not berak the sorting rules in your particular app, but at least this is
not recommended. If you like to tune sorting order on your system, you always
have /etc/gai.conf. For exmaple, by putting there "precedence ::ffff:0:0/96
100" you will prefer v4 over v6. Not sure is this somehting you did not know or
wanted to do.
If it is not, we can dicsuss it further to see is it really feasible to
impement in binkd internal precedence rules or not.
