Is this the right place? Or should i post it somewhere else?

Yes, because of that i noticed it!

My router/dnsmsq + some clients are dual-stack. The old server ipv4 only.

Sometime the ipv4 of the router is disabled/changed, as some other devices

in recovery configuration use 192.168.1.1, or every Openwrt device in
default

settings / unconfigured ... So i noticed it!

The clients then uses the ipv6 (it seems not be the preferred ip
version!) and

fail to connect the server then as they get 5 A records and chose 4:1
the wrong one

If i where able to do, i would not ask here! ;-)

As i know only shell scripting, so i'm now duplicating the whole dnsmasq
config with

hosts file, and run for each of the 5 vlans an separate instance of
dropbear, bound

to the vlan-interfaces. Works for the moment, but not really smart


If you want to change it (absolutely okay) in the code, the "interface"
in manpage

should be changed to make it clear for other
