Mongrel是否能很好地完成IPv6？

Question

I'm using mongrel + apache 2.2 + mod_proxy_balancer.

apache2.2 is IPv6 well http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/en/bind.html#ipv6

Does Mongrel do IPv6 well?

Platform:RHEL ruby:1.8.6

Answer 1

If you are using Apache as a frontend to Mongrel, whether Mongrel supports IPv6 or not is irrelevant, as Apache will serve your requests over IPv6 anyway.

It is perfectly acceptable to have Apache listen on [::]:80 , and proxy to a Mongrel running on 127.0.0.1:1234 , or whatever you use, and will be no less 'IPv6-ready' than proxying to a Mongrel running on, say [::1]:1234 .

The 127.0.0.1 loopback interface will not be going anywhere any time soon, even after the apocalypse !
