IPsec - IPv4 Phase 1 using FQDN resolves to IPv6 IP

Description
When you define an IPv4 tunnel using FQDN as Remote gateway, this resolves to AAAA record (if any) and subsequently of course fails.

where? Not seeing that. I have the same circumstance setup and everything in /var/etc/ipsec/ has the v4 IP, everything in setkey has the v4 IP. All correct.

Did not even look at the configs... Go to Phase 1 - put a dual-stack FQDN there. Go to Status - IPsec, select the entry and press the Connect button. The page freezes and never goes anywhere. Reload the page and watch this:
Never works. Gets working as soon as you replace the FQDN with IPv4.

yeah seeing that now, the proper v4 IP is put into the config for ID, but the "right" ipsec.conf entry has the hostname, which is resolved as v6 if the FQDN has an AAAA and your system is configured to prefer v6. Rare circumstance, pushing to future.

Normally this should be fixed as part of latest 2.2 and switch to strongswan 5.2.2.
Now the resolve to address is done by strongswan and not by php as it is in 2.1.5.
This means it will try all the addresses in the response rather than only one put in config.

Even though this is in feedback, I'm assigning it. (To Chris.)

the changes in strongswan 5.2.2 that help some FQDN circumstances don't change anything in this case. Where "right" is a FQDN, the host is dual stack, prefers IPv6, and the FQDN has an AAAA, it'll connect via v6 where the P1 is configured for v4. The P1 IP protocol has no impact on strongswan's config and it's just behaving as any dual stack application does, we'll need some means of overriding that behavior at some point though.

Yeah, strongswan 5.2.2 does not fix anything here indeed.

Time to bring in at least

remember to upstream it.

that change will make strongswan 5.3.3 which should be coming soonish. Should be fine to wait until its release.
