On test versions of Ubuntu 13.04, the AI_ADDRCONFIG flag doesn't appear to cause the PTR lookup, but an address family still does. * Unmodified glibc master sources (as of today) match the Ubuntu 13.04 behavior. This is not surprising as 13.04 is based on eglibc 2.17. * Unmodified glibc 2.15 sources *also* match the Ubuntu 13.04 behavior. This is surprising to me, because Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 are based on eglibc 2.15, and I haven't been able to find a relevant change in either eglibc or in the Ubuntu package's patches. * I reported the AF_INET part of the problem upstream: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15218
