Henning, I think you need to realize what you are saying is misleading at best.
The v6 diff permits you to start listening on v6 _only_ if you specify a Listen directive that contains a v6 address, including but not limited to, a wildcard v6 address: :: . The v6 diff changes the misleading *:80 format to 0.0.0.0 80 _and/or_ :: 80, you may choose not to listen on v6 by omitting the Listen :: 80 and simply modify your Listen *:80 to be the more clear format: Listen 0.0.0.0 80 Yes this diff creates a mini flag day for httpd's conf file and some modules (I myself have run unmodified php modules with a v6 httpd, but I do not recommend it). I believe this is more than worth the v6 support. Do you have a diff to add v6 to httpd that is not objectionable to you? The diff Marc Balmer is presenting I have run in an earlier form on my production colo for a few years now. Kudos to him for taking it to the next level, lots of people will find this beneficial, I personally want to see this in, it is time httpd supported v6. Thanks, -- Todd Fries ..
