364	Listen directive broken	Petre Rodan		"
I am maintaining a lot of servers all placed in dns round-robin. all nginx configs are the same on all servers, so I don't want to provide Listen directive followed by given ipv4/ipv6 addresses. I want nginx to bind to all v4+v6 interfaces, on port 80 and use HOST name-based selection of vhosts.


in nginx 1.2.x, simply providing 
Listen [::]:80;
on all vhosts on one server worked great. all v4+v6 interfaces were bound and the correct vhost was selected based on the hostname used in requests.

in 1.4.x I tried different scenarios, as follows:

 1. providing the same configurations that work in nginx 1.2.x (Listen [::]:80;), but now only ipv6 interfaces are bound. ipv4 is ignored. bad.
this is in complete contradiction with this wiki statement :
""When you enable the address [::]:80, binding port 80 using IPv6, in the listen directive, in Linux, by default, the IPv4 port 80 is also enabled.""
all my servers have

# sysctl -a | grep bindv6only
net.ipv6.bindv6only = 0
# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only
0
# netstat -pant | grep LISTEN | grep 80
tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN      3296/nginx: master  
# telnet 127.0.0.1 80
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused


 2. using as per the wiki
listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on;
listen 80;
on all vhosts on a server errors out with:
2013/05/31 10:12:37 [emerg] 17744#0: duplicate listen options for [::]:80 in /etc/nginx/vhosts/censored.com.conf:2
unusable probably because I won't change the default bindv6only kernel behaviour.

 3. using
listen 80;
on all vhosts loads the config, but no ipv6 interfaces are bound. I guess this is the intended behavior as per the wiki. but it's unusable for me since I also need all ipv6 interfaces.

to me it looks like it's a bug in scenario 1.
