Ethernet inet6 failed in MySQL

[jazzman1]

Hey folks,

 

is there some particular reason not able to use / bind ipv6 address as pasrt of a default interface and address in mysql?

 

For examle, no such thing as a problem when using a loopback ipv6 addr:

 

/etc/my.cnf

bind-address=::1 // works fine

// but 

bind-address=fe80::216:3eff:fe97:9f35 // failed
