yes, check the "getaddrinfo_all" method in PVE::Tools and how it's used
in the "get_local_ip" method in PVE::Network.

if you don't get to it I would take a look tomorrow – as yes, this is indeed
annoying and it seems that quite some users are affected, at least relatively
speaking.


im pmxcfs.c one would need to adapt lookup_node_ip, mostly set the flags for
the ahints struct directly, the memset to zero should not be required then
any more, i.e.:

struct addrinfo ahints = { 
    .ai_flags = AI_V4MAPPED | AI_ALL
};

and then wrap the existing code into a loop, returning once the first non-local
IP was found, something like:

for (struct addrinfo addr = ainfo; addr != NULL; addr = addr->ai_next) {
    // ...
}

so it shouldn't be _that_ hard.
