ipv4 and ipv6 in /etc/hosts

[Carel Fellinger <carel.fellinger@chello.nl>]

Hai,

I search the net and the archive in vain to find whether ipv4 and ipv6
behave like seperate name spaces.  So now I join the list, temporarely:)

Is the following /etc/hosts snipped legimate?

  /etc/hosts:

  192.168.1.1        local-host.local-domain
  ::FFFF:192.168.1.1 local-host.local-domain


And the next question: what address range to use for the above schema?
Stick with the "::FFFF:" prefix for IPv4-Mapped addresses or switch to
the "::" prefix for IPv4-Compatible addresses.
