Description

Bug report

When graph-node connects to firehose it may be provided a DNS name that resolves to multiple IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses.

graph-node should explicitly try each of these available addresses. Of course if IPv6 is not configured in the networking stack, it would not try those. But if there are multiple IPv4 addresses, it should try each one in turn.

It appears, anecdotally, that graph-node does not specifically rotate between IPv4 addresses returned and gets stuck connecting to a single IPv4 address.

There are no logs for this, it is based on observed behaviour.

Research direction

Start by tracing graph-node's firehose connection and how it handles DNS names resolving to multiple IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Reproduce or inspect behavior with a multi-address DNS result, including an environment without IPv6. Done means available addresses are tried in turn instead of remaining stuck on one IPv4 address.
