There is the empty string. We could use that as equivalent to the wildcard address (listen on all interfaces). There is no option I am aware of (before or after the AJP changes) that would allow listening on just 127.0.0.1 and ::1 > I think the only practical way to do this would be to add another > attribute like bindOnAllInterfaces="true" where we ignore the > "address" attribute.
