Comment:

 While we're at it we might want to make a patch that will also cover IPv6.
 While it's quite possible to have multiple public IPv4 addresses on the
 same box, for IPv6 cases where we have just one public IPv6 address are
 rare. We cannot currently publish a descriptor that has only IPv6 address,
 but are we testing the IPv6 addresses for reachability?
