I think that if Apache is to listen on several IPs on different ports and now supporting different (low-level) protocols, it is reasonable to provide mechanisms to permit certain ports and protocols on specific IPs. So something along > listen,tcp: 80 > listen,sctp: 80 should be IMHO be there. Since the syntax is currently Listen <port> Listen <IPv4>:<port> Listen [<IPv6>]:<port> it could become Listen <port> <protocols> or Listen <port>;<protocols> or even Listen <protocols> <port> <protocols> is a comma separated list (eg "tcp,sctp"). ListenProtocols <protocols> would set the default protocols for the Listen directive if no proctocol is given. Without this directive Apache should IMHO use only tcp. Masi
