I actually have a second system running running on the same hardware as my main
system that I use for testing. It is not in the nodelist, but it has an IPv6
address of its own and it is on-line and reachable. f5556.vlist.eu.

Then you can not connect to my test system, it does not have a public IPv4
address. I could set it up to respond at a diffeent port on IPv4 but I choose
not to.

Actually we should have finished the transition ten years ago. Now we have to
make the best of what we have got.
