Mongrel runs on ipv6 now?

I have this as a mongrel_cluster.yml file:


cwd: /www/blog/flame-blog/current
log_file: log/mongrel.log
port: “10010”
environment: production
address: 127.0.0.1
pid_file: /www/blog/flame-blog/shared/pids/mongrel.pid
servers: 3

This SHOULD run the server on 127.0.0.1, right?

explorer@kechara:~> telnet 127.0.0.1 10010
Trying 127.0.0.1…
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Hmm, this is strange… Mongrel is running. Then one time I typed
‘localhost’ rather than 127.0.0.1:

explorer@kechara:~> telnet localhost 10010
Trying ::1…
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is ‘^]’.

And yes, a GET request there responds as my application.

This happened after I upgraded from mongrel and mongrel_cluster 1.0.1
to 1.0.3. I’d rather not backtrack to an older version, and have
upgraded my apache load balancer config to do the right thing (using
localhost as well) but… this is strange to me.
