Well, I really do want to disable the IPv6 interface
entirely, so it doesn't show up in ifconfig, but I checked
httpd.conf, and it has "Listen 80". The corresponding line in output
from "netstat -an" is:
>tcp46 0 0 *.80 *.* LISTEN

PS-I am using the same kernel file for both guest & www, so either
www will be picking up IPv6 on its next upgrade, or there's some
other configuration difference...
