The livestatus proxy can be configured to cascade livestatus connections. The feature was introduced with 1.5.0 by werk #5970 which describes how this can be used.
The livestatus proxy is always trying to open an IPv4 and IPv6 listening socket. In previous versions the startup of the livestatus proxy failed with an error message MKGeneralException: Cannot create TCP socket :::6560: [Errno 97] Address family not supported by protocol in var/log/liveproxyd.log.
The process now continues if the port could not be opened for the reason that an address family is not supported. Additionally an informational message is written to the var/log/liveproxyd.log.
