My ISP provides me with both an IPV4 and an IPV6 address. My OI box 
currently does IPV4 firewall/routing/NAT and provides DHCP service for 
my internal network.  I'm trying to replicate this in IPV6 in parallel 
with IPV4.

Thanks.  I probably should move to ISC DHCP since that's where Oracle is 
headed as well.  Should I get the sources and build from there or will 
it be available as a package in the near future?
