if inet, ok := addr.(*net.IPNet); ok {
// Go has a nasty habit of giving you IPv4s as ::ffff:1.2.3.4 instead of 1.2.3.4.
// We want to use mapped v4 addresses as v4 preferred addresses, never as v6
// preferred addresses.
if v4 := inet.IP.To4(); v4 != nil {
if addrs.v4 == nil {
addrs.v4 = v4
}
} else if addrs.v6 == nil {
addrs.v6 = inet.IP
