[RADIATOR] issue with IPv6 clients via FQDN

hi,

okay - have read the FAQ, references and done google (and even Bing!) but
didnt come up with anything concrete (apologies if my web-search foo is weak -
I expect someone to point me directly to a URL now I've given this intro ;-)

my issue is the following.... i have RADIATOR as a proxy ...it handles clients
via IPv4 with their FQDN.... however, if that FQDN also has an IPv6 address
(a published AAAA record) it doesnt recognise it and rejects the client.

I though by using the FQDN as the client entry then the server would get its
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (it certainly seems happy with the IPv4 side of
things - its been working since i moved from hardcoded addresses in the config
to FQDN.

so..summary


<Client testing.private.net>
        Secret  ohsosecret
        DupInterval 5
</Client>


client as 192.168.10.2 via IPv4 works fine

*** Received from 192.168.10.2 port 60311 ....
        NAS-IP-Address = 192.168.10.2
blahblah
