[ale] IPv6

[Robert L. Harris]

Just may not be compiled into the kernel.  Most tools (exim, apache2,
ifconfig, etc) and such are supporting it commonly now.  You may want to
add iproute2 as that's got a nice interface for looking at the routes
and interfaces and is easier to read.

Also make sure you have tunneling compiled in as well so you can do 6 to
4 tunnels.



Thus spake Christopher Fowler (cfowler at outpostsentinel.com):
