  That's hard to do for RADIUS:

- send packet to IPv6 address
- wait 30s for timeout
- try IPv4 address

  Ugh.

  It's politer to simply use the IPv4 address by default, as it matches
the default in the server.  The user can still force IPv6 by using "-6"
on the command line, or by using an IPv6 address for the server, or by
using a hostname which resolves to only an IPv6 address.
