                             IPv6
                                     [optional] FreeS/WAN does not currently
                                     support IPv6, though work on integrating
                                     FreeS/WAN with the Linux IPv6 stack has
                                     begun. Details.

                                     It should be possible to use IPv4
                                     FreeS/WAN on a machine which also does
                                     IPv6. This combination is not yet well
                                     tested. We would be quite interested in
                                     hearing results from anyone expermenting
                                     with it, via the mailing list.

                                     We do not recommend using IPv6 on
                                     production FreeS/WAN gateways until more
                                     testing has been done.
