* Betr.: " Bug#639184: tryton-server: Does not listen on IPv4 if
  "net.ipv6.bindv6only = 1"" (Mon, 12 Sep 2011 12:28:25 +0200):

Hi Michael,

Citing from /etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only.conf:
# When disabled, IPv6 sockets will also be able to send and receive IPv4
# traffic with addresses in the form ::ffff:192.0.2.1 and daemons listening 
# on IPv6 sockets will also accept IPv4 connections. 

# When IPV6_V6ONLY is enabled, daemons interested in both IPv4 and IPv6
# connections must open two listening sockets.
# This is the default behaviour of almost all modern operating systems

It seems not to be very logical for me to require a daemon to listen on both
sockets instead of accepting IPv4 connections on the IPv6 socket (by unsetting
net.ipv6.bindv6only). But it is easily possible, that I am missing a point.

Could you explain to me, why you want to enforce the net.ipv6.bindv6only
setting, while you are interested in accepting IPv4 connections to trytond?
