	      Alternatively, a hostname can be specified, in which case

	      the IPv4 or IPv6 address which corresponds to that

	      hostname is used.  Usually a hostname is specified when

	      <application>inetd</application> is run inside a

	      &man.jail.8;, in which case the hostname corresponds to

	      the &man.jail.8; environment.</para>

	    <para>When hostname specification is used and both IPv4

	      TCP-based service would need two entries, one using

	      <literal>tcp4</literal> for the protocol and the other

	      using <literal>tcp6</literal>.</para>
