[jira] [Created] (TS-1541) forward proxy should be able to be configured to prefer IPv6 over IPv4 for outbond connections

Aron Xu created TS-1541:
---------------------------

             Summary: forward proxy should be able to be configured to prefer IPv6 over IPv4 for outbond connections
                 Key: TS-1541
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-1541
             Project: Traffic Server
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.2.0
         Environment: Debian Sid amd64, with ATS/3.2.0
            Reporter: Aron Xu


When the forward proxy cache server is connected to a dual stack network which both IPv4 and IPv6 are available, it should be able to be configured to prefer IPv6 over IPv4 for outbond connections, as it's now a common behavior of various software including all mainstream web browsers. 

I didn't check the code but now there seems to be no such a switch to tweak the preferred protocol, and it seems it prefers IPv4 over IPv6 (or maybe it's because DNS resolving is faster for IPv4?).
