Description

It seems the management APIs (at least) for clustering are not IPv6 aware. E.g.

  typedef int TSNodeHandle_t;
  typedef void (*TSClusterRPCFunction) (TSNodeHandle_t *node, TSClusterRPCMsg_t *msg, int msg_data_len);
  typedef void (*TSClusterStatusFunction) (TSNodeHandle_t *node, TSNodeStatus_t s);
   *  Get the struct in_addr associated with the TSNodeHandle_t.	    *
  tsapi int TSNodeHandleToIPAddr(TSNodeHandle_t *h, struct in_addr *in);
   *  Get the TSNodeHandle_t for the local node.	    	    	    *
  tsapi void TSGetMyNodeHandle(TSNodeHandle_t *h);
  tsapi int TSSendClusterRPC(TSNodeHandle_t *nh, TSClusterRPCMsg_t *msg);

As far as I can tell, TSNodeHandle_t is also how we represent the IP of the cluster node. And since it's an int, it can only represent IPv4 addresses.
