> @MBaesken Just a thought: parseAllowedAddr() needs to parse only numeric addresses. getaddrinfo was used to handle both IPv4 and IPv6 by a single call, but maybe it would be better to reimplement parseAllowedAddr to do 2 inet_pton calls (for AF_INET and AF_INET6)

Hi Alex, this seems to work  (for AIX, and also for the other OpenJDK platforms) .
