The functions getnameinfo, getaddrinfo inet_pton and inet_ntop need 
changing for IPv6 support anyway . The good news is that the latest IPv6 
API functions are thread safe. It would be a good idea to migrate to 
using sockaddr_storage at the same time as Jeremy has done in Samba 3.2. 
This way a lot of the code could be made protocol independent.
