We already do. The issue is what way should we give admins to _fail_ if IPv6 doesn't start. Maybe just a postgresql.conf setting, "exit_on_ipv6_failure" or something like that. It unlinks the param to the -i/tcpip_socket functionality. However, it doesn't give us a way to do IPv4 only if the server supports IPv6 too, or to do IPv6 only. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
