Hi,

I am forwarding the following bug report:

    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=586090

Debian's udev maintainer recently decided to change the
net.ipv6.bindv6only sysctl from 0 to 1. This means, whenever a socket
is created, it is created only in the specific protocol it was
requested in - i.e. no ipv4→ipv6 translation is automatically provided
anymore. 

Some discussion on the rationale behind this move can be found at:

     http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=560238
     http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/04/threads.html#00099
     http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/04/threads.html#00409
     http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/06/threads.html#00254

This means (please refer to the mentioned report) that, in order for
Cherokee to listen to _both_ ipv4 and ipv6, two sockets should be
created (one per protocol)

Please comment on whether you see this as possible/agreeable within
Cherokee. I am willing to work on submitting a patch for this
behaviour (for cherokee-admin to offer both ipv4 and ipv6 as separate
checkboxes, of course, validating at least one of them is active, and
for cherokee for opening both sockets), but I first want to check your
opinion on it.

Greetings,
