I have just understood and solved the issue.

I had in my /etc/hosts:
91.121.26.68 news.trigofacile.com

And when getaddrinfo() is used, it first checks /etc/hosts
(with my configuration).
That's why it only finds the IPv4 address and cannot reverse the IPv6
address I am using!


I removed the line in /etc/hosts and it now works fine!
