> Linux / Fedora Core 5 (glibc-2.4-8):
Known deficiency in glibc. Code to do RFC3484 precedence tables landed
in Fedora Rawhide the first half of May and is in FC6-test. I don't know
the status of that glibc code landing in RHEL 5.0.
Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=190495
http://people.redhat.com/drepper/linux-rfc3484.html for the how-and-why.
Short-form answer: Once the glibc code lands on your system, you should be
able to just do this:
# cp /etc/share/doc/glibc-common-2.<mumble>/gai.conf /etc
# vi /etc/gai.conf
and configure whatever flavor of precedence you wanted for your particular
network configuration.
and tell it what order you want addresses tried on
