ipv6

ipv6
This server is now ipv6 enabled!
ipv6 info has a lot of the heavier technical info.
As this server is running Apache2, which has native support for both ipv4 and ipv6, enabling it was simply a matter of changing the vhost config slightly.
The pop/imap server, dovecot, supports ipv6 as well. All you need to do is make a couple of minor changes to the main configuration file.
Unfortunately our ISP does not offer ipv6 yet, so we use a tunnel over ipv4, while our ipv6 allocation is tunnelled from Esat. Probably not the cleanest way to do things, but it works.
