[Dxspider-support] Spider and IPV6

[Howard Leadmon]

   Under Linux I never had any issues getting the normal stanza to work:

@listen = (
       ["::", 7300],
            );



  Though under an older BSD one point, I needed to list the IPv4 and IPv6 listeners separately like this:


@listen = (

       ["204.9.93.14", 7300],
       ["2001:550:102:1::14", 7300],
);

  Of course put your IP addresses in the listing, or it would of course 
fail..

73's..
