That problem is pre 0.40. The perl network code loads the IPv6 if it finds an IPv6 interface and debian (at least) configures at least the IPv6 loopback by default (since sarge). I'd guess other distros are similar. If you fix your networking (i.e. get rid of the gratuitous IPv6 crap) when you install your server, I don't think this is a problem. At the moment, anyone who is running IPv6 should know that they are doing it anyway. > > > - ask -- --gh
