Comment(by jct):

 The attached patch is doing the following:

  * Guessing the IP version of the Proxy
  * Guessing the IP version of the Client:
     * The Client's address in the list of registered clients
 ('''RegSet''') has a different encoding that the Proxy's address
  * Giving to the Proxy a Client from '''RegSet''' with the same IP
 version:
     * It is easy to change it in order to give IPv4 clients to IPv6
 Proxies

 The patch contains an automatic test: '''ticket-6124-test.py'''
