By default, `host-gateway` resolves to the IP address of the default bridge. By default, `host-gateway` resolves to the IPv4 address of the default bridge,

To supply both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on the command line, use two
`--host-gateway-ip` options.
To supply two addresses in the daemon configuration file, include two addresses
in the JSON array, as shown below. For compatibility with older versions of the
daemon, a single IP address can also be specified in a JSON string rather than
an array.
