hi stef,

a fellow glutton for punishment! =)

well, i found this comment 'out there':

@ <http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/IPv6_deployment:SOHO_network>

   $ vi /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf

   Change the "Listen" directive to your IPv6-compatible web URL i.e.:
    Listen [2001:470:1f00:ffff::759]:80


now i just have to figure out where in my virtual hosting setup it goes ...

hmmmm ....

log entry is 'just':

[Sun May 01 18:21:21 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server 
configuration: /usr/local/apache2/htdocs

why 127.0.0.1?

% cat /etc/hosts:
   127.0.0.1   localhost
   255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
   ::1             localhost

also, ifconfig shows:

% ifconfig
   lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
           inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
           inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
           inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
   en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
           inet6 fe80::201:93de:fe9c:cb51%en0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
           inet 172.30.10.5 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.30.10.255

           supported media: none autoselect 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex>
           10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,hw-loopback>
           100baseTX <half-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX
           <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 1000baseT <full-duplex> 1000baseT

           1000baseT <full-duplex,flow-control,hw-loopback>


so it looks like ip6 is 'hot' on both localhost & ethernet ...

need to flog httpd.conf a bit after my perl rebuilds ( i clearly need a dual 
CPU, dual core, 4GHz G6!)

cheers,
