I've added debugging code to new_dns_packet() and bgsend()
(DnsResolver.pm) to print out $host, $type and $class to a log file.
What I found is that the mapped address entries are not even seen by
DnsResolver.pm at all, hence, there is no DNS lookup even attempted on them.
I'm off to find out where exactly the evaluation/gathering of the IP
addresses takes place, and try to design a regex that will take the
::ffff: into consideration properly.
What I'd like to have happen is the mapped address sent merrily along
all the way to the system resolver, then have the system resolver do
what needs to be done.
Am I taking the right approach here? Or should I have the IPv4 address
stripped out of the v6 mapped address prior to pushing it through the
Perl resolver gateways?
