These special values will work over both IPv4 and IPv6 by default,
but you can also limit this with the use of `:ipv4` of `:ipv6` specifiers, for
example `_en0:ipv4_` would only bind to the ipv4 addresses of interface `en0`.

`network.bind_host` and `network.publish_host` can be set instead of `network.host`
for advanced cases such as when behind a proxy server.
The `network.bind_host` setting allows to control the host different network
components will bind on. By default, the bind host will be `_local_`
(loopback addresses such as `127.0.0.1`, `::1`).
`network.bind_host` sets the host different network
components will bind on.
The `network.publish_host` setting allows to control the host the node will
`network.publish_host` sets the host the node will
publish itself within the cluster so other nodes will be able to connect to it.
Currently an elasticsearch node may be bound to multiple addresses, but only
publishes one. If not specified, this defaults to the "best" address from
`network.bind_host`, sorted by IPv4/IPv6 stack preference, then by reachability.
Both settings allows to be configured with either explicit host address(es)
or host name(s). The settings also accept logical setting value(s) explained
in the following table:
Both settings can be configured just like `network.host`: they accept ip
addresses, host names, and special values.
