And I know of at least one ISP who has built the datacenter in a quite similiar way. Being reachable from the IPv4 internet is very well done with sniproxy, it's just apache making this unnecessarily complicated by offering two methods from the same module with the exception list backwards in one of those two. I was hoping that somebody would explain _why_ the haproxy protocol is implemented so differently from the http header method in the very same module, and maybe I have missed something in the docs. > Dual-stack I can quite understand, but attempting IPv6-only seems a bit too > far ahead of the game for my liking. > > > I'd rather take the approach of having a dedicated apache listener for > > the proxied requests than building more IPv4. > > Okay, I just thought I'd offer an alternative possible solution. The least evil solutions seems to look different for different people, although a solution inside apache would actually help the most.
