What a timely thread.

I've recently concluded that we need an extension to getaddrinfo() along
these lines, but I'm looking for somewhat tighter and more generic
semantics.

My proposal is to add an AI_SECURE_CANONNAME flag with the following
semantics:
    

      do not try to implement policy into applications.  you will end up
      forced to (?) rewrite every existing applications.
  
perhaps, but having the policy be application-independent doesn't make
sense either.
