RE: [Pound Mailing List] setting up pound listeners for dual stack IPv4 and IPv6`

Just out of curiosity, why do you need haproxy?

As far as IPv6 addresses, anything the system supports via the getaddrinfo() call should be accepted via an Address line.  Maybe use explicit :0: instead of the shortcut notation?  I’m guessing, since I don’t use ipv6 in any of my environments.

Subject: [Pound Mailing List] setting up pound listeners for dual stack IPv4 and IPv6`

hello All,
I hope this list can help me.

I have had difficulty finding any references to setting up pound with IPv6 especially in a dual stack environment.
I already have a Heartbeat supported IPv4 Pound installation.  I have a listener on port 80 that redirects to the ssl version on port 443.  from there haproxy listens to 127.0.0.1 and load balances between IPv4 web servers.  I want to have the same ports on the IPv6 address do they same thing.  if i remove the IPv6 listeners the IPv4 work.  if I add the IPv6 listeners i get
I think that they should look like this (actual data hidden):
/etc/pound.cfg

#pre-existing and working

#servername -IPv4 listener
ListenHTTP
    Address xxx.xxx.xxx.20
    port    80
    xhttp   2
    Service
        Redirect    "https://servername"<https://servername>
    End
End

#servername - ssl
ListenHTTPS
        Address xxx.xxx.xxx.20
        Port 443
        Cert "/etc/servername.pem"
        Service
                BackEnd
                        Address 127.0.0.127
                        Port 80
                End
        End
End

#how I think the the IPv6 should look but doesn't work

#servername -ipv6 listener
ListenHTTP
    Address yyyy:yyyy:yyyyy:yyyyy::20
    port    80
    xhttp   2
    Service
        Redirect    "https://servername"<https://servername>
    End
End

#servername - IPv6 -ssl
ListenHTTPS
        Address yyyy:yyyy:yyyy:yyyy::20
        Port 443
        Cert "/etc/servername.pem"
        Service
                BackEnd
                        Address 127.0.0.127
                        Port 80
                End
        End
End

127.0.0.127:80 is the HAproxy load balancer to the back end IPv4 web servers.

Any suggestions about what i am missing?
Thanks
