As I hinted in #45380 [1], adding such an option to nsupdate might be useful as well (if for nothing else then for consistency between tools). rt45632 adds -4/-6 to both rndc and nsupdate, along with some further related tweaks: - nsupdate should prefer ::1 over 127.0.0.1 when running in local-only mode (this is the part of rt45380 that has not yet been merged into master; commit 9c667d2243), if for nothing else then for consistency with how "server localhost" behaves, - command line options -4/-6 should be mutually exclusive, but delv and mdig did not enforce that, - all docs should present -4 and -6 as mutually exclusive options. Please review. [1] https://bugs.isc.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=45380#txn-488754
