Description

I want start redis server on "locahost" (may be have ipv6 only host in the network, so do not use "127.0.0.1"), but failed. I found BindParams::IsIPAddress can not support "localhost", is only support IP address.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the BindParams::IsIPAddress function in the Redis source code for Windows and modify it to accept hostnames like 'localhost' by resolving them to IP addresses before binding.
