Can somebody post a clear description of how the flag will change behaviours
in user space for network apps?
eg:
v6only on/off
what happens to:
v4 only host browses via mozilla to URL
which has V6 and V4 address
v4/6 host browses via mozilla to URL
which has v6 and v4 address
v6 only host browses via mozilla to URL
which has v6 and v4 address
right now, the only guidance (l)users have is an oldish manpage which is not
that intuitive, and MESSAGE text when you install Mozilla.
