I'm not sure I understand the problem. If you say something like
tcp        0      0 :::8080                 :::*                    LISTEN      
4338/java
means that no IPv4-only host is able to connect, this is not the case - at 
least not on my Linux machine where the above netstat-snippet comes from. I 
can connect to the Tomcat on this Linux box from an IPv4-only XP machine 
using the Linux' IPv4 address without any problems.

BTW: why is this situation special wrt the native connector?

If you really make such a change, please do it in a way that allows me to 
easily revert it. Thanks.
