I'm in the process of setting up a new server built on ubuntu 16.04
using nginx 1.10.0.

The specific issue is that while my new configuration essentially
matches my old nginx configuration from an ubuntu 13.10 server using
nginx 1.4.4, nginx 1.10.0 is only creating either ipv4 or ipv6
workers, but not both. This behavior is not present on the old server.
Not sure what else to try at this point.

I've verified that my nginx installation was built with ipv6.

Below are my current configurations for the new server:

> worker_processes 8;
> pid /run/nginx.pid;

>

> include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
> }

Lastly, the weird thing is whether the workers get bound to ipv4 or
ipv6 entirely depends on the order in which the listen directives are
placed. In the following data, I've switched the order and tried
different configurations multiple times. After each change to
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/blog I did sudo service nginx stop; sudo
service nginx start; sudo lsof -i;to get the data.

Also note that I changed the workers count to 8 after performing these
steps. However while the number of workers increased, the same
behavior was seen where all workers were either ipv4 or ipv6.
