Max Resing<p>Just wanted to share some thoughts on <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/RFC9715" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RFC9715</span></a> - an <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/RFC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RFC</span></a> that defines standards on reducing the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DNS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DNS</span></a> issue of IP fragmentation over <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/UDP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UDP</span></a>.

Will Pettersson<p>Is there a standardised (or vaguely common) hostname akin to localhost that either a) only resolves to the IPv4 127.0.0.1, or only resolves to the IPv6 [::1]? In my experience, whether localhost resolves to an IPv4 or IPv6 address seems to be somewhat OS-dependent (or even system-dependent), I am wondering if there's a standard way to specify that I do want either the IPv4 version or the IPv6 version?</p><p>Why did this come up, you ask? I have a service on localhost that only listens on IPv4, but today localhost resolved to [::1] and it broke. Now I fixed it easily by specifying 127.0.0.1 as the server address instead of localhost in the upstream proxy, but it did make me start wondering.</p><p>Note that I've fixed my issue. I'm purely curious about standard/common hostnames for IPv4-only localhost or IPv6-only localhost. If you give me advice on fixing the problem, I'll just ignore it.</p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/tcpip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tcpip</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/ipv4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ipv4</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/ipv6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ipv6</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/localhost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>localhost</span></a></p>
