      1. Create a temporary empty data directory for the database: mkdir /tmp/delete-me-test-mongodb-bindall
      2. Try to start MongoDB with the --ipv6 and bind_ip_all options: mongod --port 35723 --ipv6 --bind_ip_all --dbpath /tmp/delete-me-test-mongodb-bindall/

      Enabling both net.bindIpAll (--bind_ip_all) and net.ipv6 (--ipv6) results in the server failing to start with the following error message:

      exception in initAndListen std::exception: listen: Address already in use, terminating

      The same thing occurs if specifying --bind_ip 0.0.0.0,:: with the --ipv6 option.

      A workaround for this issue is to specify --bind_ip with all IPv4 & IPv6 addresses of the server.

      The log output is attached as mongodb-ipv6-bindall-log.txt.
