So it's not a "compile-time" issue with the rendezvous code in 10.3.6, it's
a runtime check using the criteria in your earlier message. Which means, if
I set the interface to 169.254.x.x, the runtime check will pick this up and
use Ipv6 for rendezvous? Did I interpret your email correctly?
Also, I wasn't aware I could turn off IPv4 completely, since I didn't think
all of the utility libraries (like the dns resolver) have been v6-enabled.
But I do understand how to set the 169.254.x.x address, so I will try this
method first.
Thanks!
