It's not clear what player version you are using, but it
probably
does not support IPv6. So the client would try to resolve
the hostname
because it does not recognize
"[2001:db8:100:f101::2]" as an IPv4
address.
In order to use ramgen with IPv6 browsers and IPv4 players,
you need
to set the ramgen hostname in your server config to either a
hostname
that can be resolved by the client as IPv4 if it does not
support IPv6,
or set it to an IPv4 address to ensure backwards
compatibility.
