Do I understand that correctly? What you're basically saying is: someone enables IPv6 on his machine, Tomcat listens on all IPv6 addresses but for some limitation of some OS[1] isn't accessible via IPv4 anymore. The solution you propse is to make sure that on *all* OSes (limitations in this regard or not) Tomcat is not accessible via IPv6. I don't consider that a good idea. Therfore, again, my plea: if you really make this change, do it in a way so that this can easily be undone. Why not simply document the fact that on an OS with these limitations additional measures have to be taken - like setting the address property of the Connector or creating an Ipv4->IPv6 redirection - if IPv4 access to Tomcat is (also) required? Regards mks [1] Maybe even on Windows there's some equivalent to Linux' sysctl net.ipv6.bindv6only=0 or BSD's sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.v6only=0 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
