Greeting IPv6 users with Lighttpd
Posted by Damien Pollet Wed, 25 Apr 2007 00:55:12 GMT
Last weekend I configured my web server to accept IPv6 connections (and since my provider ignores IPv6, I’m using a 6to4 tunnel from BTexact).
To celebrate my small patch of adressing space, I added the banner you can see at the top-left of the page. It should be red if you come from IPv4 land and green if my tunnel is up, my config actually works, and you are really in IPv6 (not using an ::ffff:a.b.c.d IP).
So I’m coming to my first point, which is how to tell Lighttpd to differenciate clients and keep the config files modular.
Resarch(ish) discussion after the jump.
