My plan is to use an AF_INET listener on systems that support only IPv4,
and an AF_INET6 listener on systems that can support IPv6. Incoming
IPv4 packets will be posted to an AF_INET6 listener with a mapped IPv4
address.
Max Matveev <makc@sgi.com> says:
Creating a single listener can be dangerous - if net.ipv6.bindv6only
is enabled then it's possible to create another listener in v4
namespace on the same port and steal the traffic from the "unifed"
listener. You need to disable V6ONLY explicitly via a sockopt to stop
that.
Set appropriate socket option on RPC server listener sockets to prevent
this.
