[Dxspider-support] RESOLVED: Help request for FreeBSD install

[Brendan Minish]

I suspect that the issue may be IPv6 compatibility with the dxspider
console application rather than a bigger 'ipv6 issue' 

I corrected this by changing the line in DXVars.pm that identifies the
address to use for the console connection from 
$clusteraddr = "localhost";
to
$clusteraddr = "127.0.0.1";

on an IPv6 capable system with localhost set to ::1 applications try to
connect to 'localhost' over ipv6.

IPv6 support seems to work ok in Dxspider, at least for user connects

if anyone who has IPv6 address connectivity wishes to try out my node
it's reachable via IPv6 at 
[2a01:348:6:26b::2] on port 7300 

I would be most interested in peering with any other nodes over IPv6
