Well I thought this would be obvious, but applications using getaddrinfo() typically try connecting to each of the addresses returned in sequence and stop as soon as connect() returns 0. So you end up using whichever address was returned first 9 time out of 10. I'll reply to your other questions, and other similar ones from other folks, as soon as I have a good answer. Simon
