Will this work too?No. The question follows: what the hell does it make this? What is special in ipv4 that it needs to bind to its addresses? With IPV6_V6ONLY connections to all the IPv4 addresses but listed ones will be refused. I guess it is not _that_ thing which bind expects.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Note that the last line is _tcp6_: tcp6 0 0 *.53 *.* LISTEN So, I belive using IPV6_V6ONLY it should indeed work. (The reasoning in Bind is that you can bind to addresses _only_ in IPv4 but you don't have to. It's done in these cases. For IPv6, it's all-or-nothing.) -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems. Networks. Security. -- Robert Jordan: A Crown of Swords
