I have a very interesting situation where I get a completley unusable Kibana UI when connecting through ipv6 address.

Kibana and Elasticsearch both use ipv4 networks inside the system, and only the entry VIP is ipv6.

I have a reverse proxy in apache that works perfectly if the entry IP address is ipv4.

Did anyone by chance run into a similar issue?

I have an update on this one, if accessing from the browser using a hostname, and not an ipv6 IP address, everything seems to work properly. Guess it's an issue in kibana somewhere when the origin is an ipv6 address ...
