Review comment:
       Having both enabled might lead to confusion as it does now with 
dual-stack socket. Most don't even know that one can pass sockopt 
[`IPV6_V6ONLY`](https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ip6&apropos=0&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+12.2-RELEASE+and+Ports&arch=default&format=html).
 I would avoid such situation unless the admin does exactly know what is 
happening here. Now the misfortune here is that we don't have an address field, 
but rather a host/port which is tied to TCP sockets. Maybe it is worth a 
discussion on the dev ML to move to `address` instead of `host`/`port` 
combination. So do all decent socket-based services like sshd, httpd, etc. WDYT?
