Add a keyword to force AAAA DNS resolution

[Louis Sautier]

Monit now supports IPv6 but if DNS are used, it seems that IPv4 is preferred. Could you add an option to force IPv6 usage, maybe something like check host myhost with ipv6 address example.com?

It's implemented in the next Monit release already:

Ping examples:

if failed ping  then alert        # Use any available IP version
if failed ping4 then alert        # Check IPv4 only
if failed ping6 then alert        # Check IPv6 only

Port examples:

if failed port 22      then alert # Use any available IP version
if failed port 22 ipv4 then alert # Check IPv4 only
if failed port 22 ipv6 then alert # Check IPv6 only

Oh, committed 23 hours ago, well I guess this was just bad timing for me :)
