Can someone point me toward an explanation of what’s happening here?  
Apache 2.2, proxy\_cluster, mongrel. Here’s the production.log output  
from a single request:

Processing ThingsController#index (for 208.188.101.145 at 2007-02-18

Where is the second request coming from (bad Apache config?), and what  
does the ::1 mean?

Thanks!

Hi,

::1 is an IPv6 address. Please check your network configuration.  
Without looking any further I can tell that you should focus on which  
IP address your daemons are listening to.  
Hope this helps.

Thanks! They’re listening on 127.0.0.1, on a couple of groups of ports,  
so that makes sense (I’m not used to IPv6).

As it happens, I fixed the problem shortly after posting here. For some  
reason, I had forgotten to remove an outdated set of ProxyPass,  
ProxyPassReverse, and ProxyPreserveHost directives for a different  
vhost. I have no idea why they would have caused this problem, but  
taking them out fixed it.
