Hello plaisthos, flichtenheld,

I'd like you to do a code review.
Please visit

    http://gerrit.openvpn.net/c/openvpn/+/762?usp=email

to review the following change.


Change subject: override ai_family if 'local' numeric address was specified
......................................................................

override ai_family if 'local' numeric address was specified

This change ensures that when a numeric IP address is specified
as argument to a 'local' directive, its ai_family overrides
the one extracted from the 'proto' config option.
