Description Vladimir Kotal 2004-06-24 07:39:33 AEST 
Would it be possible to add list of preferred address families to ssh_config ?
Command line options -4 and -6 do not suffice for all purposes.

something like:

Host myhost1
  Hostname dualstack.bignetwork.net
  PreferredAF ipv4,ipv6
Comment 1 Ben Lindstrom 2004-06-24 09:18:20 AEST 
We already have "AddressFamily" in ssh_config.
Comment 2 Darren Tucker 2004-06-24 11:02:12 AEST 
... and it's been there since 3.7.

$ man ssh_config
[...]
AddressFamily
    Specifies which address family to use when connecting.  Valid
    arguments are ``any'', ``inet'' (Use IPv4 only) or ``inet6'' (Use
    IPv6 only.)
