Odd thing, your v6 address has changed yet again, even though your ipv6.tequilamockingbirdonline.net is responding.

Yes. Most definitely. I only use binkd here, and I run dual-stack with IPv4 and IPv6 on the same addresses (I have two nodes with both).

If you were to do it that way, then yes (if the U flag is required at all).

I don't follow on this one. They don't *have* to, but I suppose they could?

Rob currently has nothing to do with IPv6. Deuce is the man to talk to about it, as he has made a patch for Synchronet to support it, and is waiting to be able to add it to CVS as soon as Rob is ready for it... or something.
