Hi
I'm getting loads of these messages logged in FreeBSD (ive enabled

kernel: Connection attempt to TCP [::0001] 11211 from [::0001]:57097 flags:

Note the MEMCACHED ports ---
About 10 per second are being logged at least. I'm confused why this is
happening, as memcached is running and there are no firewalls on this host?
If I telnet localhost 11211 I get the memcached daemon
Any ideas? I'm a bit worrying as the console keeps telling me it's rate
limiting connections due to the above?
The message is for connection attempt to IPv6's localhost (::1).
Memcached doesn't listen on it (since it doesn't support IPv6).
I guess the reason is that you use 'localhost' in your scripts,
which is by default mapped to both ip4 127.0.0.1 and ipv6 ::1.
Changing 'localhost' in you scripts to '127.0.0.1' or removing
IPv6 mapping should resolve the issue.
