binkd relies on getaddrinfo (as any other UNIX tool dealing with sockets) which 
in turn returns addresses sorted in accordance with RFC3484. I'm not saying you 
can not berak the sorting rules in your particular app, but at least this is 
not recommended. If you like to tune sorting order on your system, you always 
have /etc/gai.conf. For exmaple, by putting there "precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 
100" you will prefer v4 over v6. Not sure is this somehting you did not know or 
wanted to do.
If it is not, we can dicsuss it further to see is it really feasible to 
impement in binkd internal precedence rules or not.
