Yoshihiro -- I did a good bit of work on the IPv6 code in Amanda about
9mo ago, in hopes of making Amanda "ready for the next generation."  I
discovered along the way that it takes a *lot* of know-how and
resources to build a working IPv6 network.  In particular, a
"dual-stack" IPv6/IPv4 network is very hard to get working right.

You mentioned in your original email that you don't know much about
IPv6.  If possible, it may make your life a lot easier to just avoid
the whole issue and use IPv4.
