Bug Description
When a try to use 6tunnel to forward to an ipv6 host with a given source address. I get the following error:
resolving reader.
local: default,1191; remote: reader.
<4> connection from 127.0.0.1,42827
<4> unable to resolve source host (2001:610:739::11)
<4> connection closed
child process exited
The source host is assigned to one of my network adapters and is part of an ipv6 subnet, that is configured and tunneled with aiccu (and SIXXS).
This is the problem only in version -5, an install of version -3 that is shipped with maverick solved my problem.
