update the vmodem to ipv6 will solve it

nope, old programs writed to prefer ipv4 will stay prefering ipv4, only apps that try best stack will call ipv6 or ipv4 randomly, not even that is a problem, since if nodes using hostnames and not ip addr in nodelist then the underlaying magic will sort it out

its like now when i cant connect to ipv6 from a ipv4 only host

if i was ipv6 only i cant connect to ipv4 aswell

 MvdV> New IPv6 aware suff can do it better.

yep, solving it in nodelist is not the best way to solve it
