    We are testing a MQ application on an AIX 5.3 ML4 in a IP v6 network. The AIX box has a dual stack, IPv4 and IP v6. To application connects to the MQ server using an IPv4 address and we have a requirement that it should bind to a local IPv6 socket. The MQ documention says if we use such a combination (Remote is IP v4 and local IP v6), "Maps an IPv4 address to an IPv4 mapped IPv6 address. IPv6 implementations that do not support IPv4 mapped IPv6 addressing fail to resolve the address".

    When we tested the application we got socket error 64 which means "Operation not supported". So I want to know if AIX 5.3 ML4 supports IP v4 mapped IP v6 addressing?

    Thanks in advance
