I just thought of something:
For a *real* special case, with no new keywords or other stuff, we could
just add something like this to hba.c at the start of the 'host*'
section of parse_hba():
#ifndef HAVE_IPV6
if (strcmp(token,"::1") == 0 || strcmp(token,"::1/128") == 0)
return;
#endif
A bit fragile, but it would allow a default line for the ip6 loopback
address that wouldn't break ip4 only postmasters.
Any other type of ip6 address would break, as I believe it should. And
we wouldn't have to write special routines to handle ip6 addresses where
we otherwise don't know about them.
cheers
