    Hi there,

    If I pass "localhost" and a port number to getaddrinfo API on IP v6 enabled AIX 5.3 ML4, the API takes almost 2.5 minutes to return. The machine has dual stack. If I pass IP address, the API returns immediately. The issue is only when I use "localhost". Please help to resolve this issue. It's blocking lot of tests.

    Thanks.

    Not sure if this applies to AIX 5.3, but have you checked that the resolution order in /etc/netsvc.conf is correct (like local6 added to hosts?)? Is IP v6 localhost defined in /etc/hosts?
