 No, ruby always call getaddrinfo with hints->ai_socktype == 0
 see ext/socket/socket.c

	MEMZERO(&hints, struct addrinfo, 1);
	if (strcmp(STR2CSTR(af), "AF_INET") == 0) {
	    hints.ai_family = PF_INET;
	}
#ifdef INET6
	else if (strcmp(STR2CSTR(af), "AF_INET6") == 0) {
	    hints.ai_family = PF_INET6;
	}
#endif
	else {
	    hints.ai_family = PF_UNSPEC;
	}
	error = getaddrinfo(hptr, pptr, &hints, &res);
