Hello,

I'm trying to send requests to my bitcoind instance via IPv6. My bitcoin.conf file has an entry with the line 'rpcallowip=[my_local_ipv6]'.

I tried to use the commands 'bitcoind getblockcount' and 'bitcoind -onlynet=ipv6 getblockcount' but both commands are using an IPv4 connection to get the current block count.

The bitcoind process is listening on TCP port 8333/8332 for IPv4 and IPv6 connections. What am I missing here?
