OpenBSD 3.4, with no special ./configure options: -D APR_HAVE_IPV6 (IPv4-mapped addresses disabled) So what this actually means is that unless explicitily stated, a : Listen 80 in your httpd.conf will _only_ bind on ::1, and not bind to an ipv4 address. Specifying Listen 127.0.0.1:80 will _only_ bind on the ipv4 localhost address... And if you ./configure --enable-v4-mapped Listen 80 Will get you an IPv6 listening socket on ::1 that's _also_ listening on the ipv4 equivalent of 127.0.0.1 > > And once we can figure that out, then can we make a correct decision as > > to what to bind to. > > > > But, AFAIK, 127.0.0.1 (or ::1) _must_ be the a loopback address, isn't > > it ? > > It usually is.
