I am not doing that... Yup, where you can do it, you should do so. However, I suggest opening two sockets, one is for IPv6 and the other is for IPv4, instead of using IPv4-mapped IPv6 address. boote> I just found the net.inet6.ip6.bindv6only sysctl variable doing a web boote> search... What is the default value for this sysctl on 5.0? net.inet6.ip6.bindv6only=1 by default on 5-CURRENT. boote> (I guess I may need to install 5.0 on a box, and stop bothering boote> others...) You don't need to install 5.0. You can simply get same effect by setting net.inet6.ip6.bindv6only=1.
