Ooh, I hadn't thought of IPv6, though the tcpdump info clearly shows
the use of IPv4 and, for some reason, requests to a non-localhost IP
address being routed through the loopback (that's 'lo' in Linux-speak)
device.

It looks like something is wildly misconfigured somewhere.

(I know this isn't IPv6, but it occurs to me that Tomcat always uses
the long-form of theIPv6 address while Apache httpd is a bit smarter
about it (e.g. httpd reports ::1 while Tomcat would report either
0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001 or 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1). Be aware
of that when setting up regular expressions to handle IPv6 localhost)
