Peter,
Some weeks ago I spent an afternoon looking at what IPv6 services I
could make use of on our OES2 test servers, since we have both IPv4 and
v6 networking here.
Our DNS is all handled by other systems and the OES2 boxes were all
using their default "auto" IPv6 addresses. As far as I can tell, only
ssh and Apache make any use of IPv6 on an OES2 box, so it wasn't of any
real use to us.
