Hi -=20

I just noticed (well, via a discussion in #ipv6 on freenode) that the
default configure arguments for BIND9 on 8.1 include '--disable-ipv6'.

% grep CONFIGARGS /usr/src/usr.sbin/named/Makefile=20
CONFIGARGS=3D'--prefix=3D/usr' '--infodir=3D/usr/share/info'
'--mandir=3D/usr/share/man' '--enable-threads' '--disable-ipv6'
'--enable-getifaddrs' '--disable-linux-caps' '--with-openssl=3D/usr'
'--with-randomdev=3D/dev/random'

This results in BIND9 not listening on IPv6 sockets, even if the
listen-on-v6 directive is explicitly configured in the configuration
file.  Even worse, and why I didn't pick up on it until now, is that no
warnings or errors are emitted about this during startup, although I
suppose that is more of a BIND problem than a FreeBSD one.  Strangely
enough, the control socket still listens on ::1 in addition to
127.0.0.1.

Does anyone know why this was done, or if there's any harm in reenabling
it and rebuilding?

- Mark
