Subject: [PATCH 7/8] Ignore IPv6 link-local addresses
Returning IPv6 link-local addresses is a bad idea, because they only
work if an application connects specifically over the corresponding
interface. So you get errors like:
$ curl -6 http://my-machine/
curl: (7) Failed to connect to fe80::d6be:d9ff:fe1b:8477: Invalid argument
To prevent this, this patch filters out link-local addresses. So if
you don't have a routable IPv6 address, nss-myhostname will fall back
to returning ::1.
