Upstream is dead or unresponsive: http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=33289 There are distro specific patches floating around: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=523846 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;filename=03_ipv6-support.dpatch;att=1;bug=523846 Transparent IPv6 support would be needed, for example, for Munin: http://munin.projects.linpro.no/ticket/358
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Sorry, I totally missed seeing this bug. ;( I can look at adding the patches here... but I really dislike carrying big patches like that. Have you tested them? Are they stable? Have other distros shipped with them for a while?

This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Net-Server as of version 2.000 (released May 2012) has IPv6 support upstream. Current upstream release is 2.006.
Updated in rawhide. Let me know if you want f18 updated too. This is a pretty big jump for any other stable releases, IMHO.
