[Gluster-users] Gluster-3.5.0 Refusing to connect over ipv6

[Sjon Hortensius]

That is a very definite and clear statement, thanks! When searching for
gluster + ipv6; I found multiple people saying they have this working; or
it should just work (from as far back as 2011). I assumed the same code
should be in 3.5 and still be functional; but my assumption was incorrect.

Thanks for clarifying; that saves me some debugging.
