You probably want to add either ::192.168.1.2 or ::FFFF:192.168.1.2
to your /etc/hosts for the host with IP address 192.168.1.2. The first
address is that for an IPv6 capable host that is IPv4 compatible, the second
for an IPv4-only host.

Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary seems te prefer the spelling
without, although it does specify the double-dotted version as a variant.
