I saw that and others like it. Not using Debian but I suspect that RPAF 
is the culprit. I could test it, but then I have to scour the logs to 
find the IP's of spammers and the like. They'd all show up as 137.0.0.1.

I could simply have Igor delete the AAAA record and that would solve the 
problem for people with dual IPv4/IPv6 connectivity, but I'm not excited 
to do that. I've been serving the forum on IPv6 for years. It is, 
however an option, at least for now.

That's not the case. Not even close to out of resources. The FPM 
children are there, they're "listening", they're just not "hearing".
