Re: IPv6 Support for INET/CIDR types.

here's the problem. i want to replace the inet_{net_}{ntop,pton}
functions in postgres with the real ones from bind. however, your
versions have been patched. so before i can replace them i need
to understand exactly what you've patched and move that logic to
the part of postgres that calls these functions. then i can import
the real versions, which include vadim's ipv6 logic. then i can
work on changing postgres to use the new ipv6 logic in these functions.

any help with that first step would be appreciated.
