Hi,

the current search path for ipv4/6 is fixed and has some problems
when you only want a ipv4 search for dns entries.

What about extending the syntax so you can specify that you want
a filesIPv4, then a dnsIPv4 and if that all fails a filesIPv6 and
dnsIPv6 lookups?
And keep the old behaviour when you use files and dns.

e.g:

hosts:	files4 dns4 files6 dns4

Hmmm, is it possible to get ipv6 entries fron nis?
