Using iis7, windows 7, asp.net 3.5. I have in my hosts file
127.0.0.1 mysite
::1 mysite
I forgot why I added the ::1, but I think it was important. Anyone know what the second line is for? Thanks in advance.
Edit
One more question. What happens if I leave it out? The web site I'm working on doesn't address via IPv6, at least, not that I know of.
