Even disregarding RFC3513, is an IPv6-enabled kernel without an IPv6

If not, I'd think it worthwhile to make pointyhat more realistic.

postfix, making it more liberal in what it accepts.)


FreeBSD jails only expose the IP addresses they are configured to use. So if you have an IPv6 enabled host (which is the default) with jails that are configured with only IPv4 addresses, then yes, it is very realistic.

Furthermore, by default, jails don't have any v4 addresses assigned to the loopback interface - 127.0.0.1 and inaddr_loopback are automagically aliased to the primary v4 IP assigned to the jail.

Jase.
