Hi Arjen,

But iptables is  not multiplatform! And these kind
of "workarounds" do not really fix the issue.

And if  you are a DBA, you rarely touch iptables, which
is another layer of  "surprises" on a database server?

So rather than avoiding to fix it, why not just do it?

At least 3 "bug" reports / feature reaquests since 2006 on
the Bugs.MySQL.com.

Would be nice, but with iptables it's fairly easy to do anyway.
IPv6 is more interesting IMHO.


Cheers,
