Here's the really ugly part... % ping 10 PING 10 (0.0.0.10): 56 data bytes % ping 10.1 PING 10.1 (10.0.0.1): 56 data bytes % ping 10.1.1=20=20 PING 10.1.1 (10.1.0.1): 56 data bytes This makes no sense at all today, but we can't fix it, because it's the documented and standard-mandated behavior of inet_pton(3) and, if I'm not mistaken, getaddrinfo(3).
