IPV6/IPV4 host name mismatch fails locate

[apeters1971]

I am using a CERN OpenStack machine with XRootD 4.1.1.

These machines have by default names like:
IPV4 .cern.ch
IPV6 .ipv6.cern.ch

The OFS fails the 'fsctl' command and returns ENETUNREACH:

if ((Resp1Len = myIF->GetDest(pbuff, sizeof(pbuff), ifType, retHN)))
           {einfo.setErrInfo(Resp1Len+3, (const char **)Resp, 2);
            return SFS_DATA;
           }
return Emsg(epname, einfo, ENETUNREACH, "locate", Path);

Running with -I v4 bypasses the problem.

Just to clarify: the ethernet interface has both a public IPv6 and a public IPv4 address assigned.

Hi Andreas,

Would it be possible to get the value of "ifType"? If you can get that
then you can lso dump out the contents of myIF. The only way this can
happen is if there is an incompatability between the requestor and how the
node is configured, which should not be the case here. So, I suspect what
the expected config s is not what the real config is.
