Quite frankly: I don't know. Off an on I've been scratching my head about how 
to best implement IPv6 support into BlueOnyx for the last two years. Because 
sooner or later we'll of course need it. However, the way the CODB objects of 
Vsites are laid out makes it tricky to support both IPv4 and IPv6 in the same 
GUI without overcomplicating trivial matters such as doing the initial setup 
after the install from the ISO, or adding or modifying a site. 

I think in the long run (once BlueOnyx on CentOS-6 is out) we might look at 
IPv6 again and do some brainstorming to find the best possible solution. One 
solution could be to split BlueOnyx into two separate builds: One that's IPv4 
only (like it is now) and another one that's exclusively for IPv6. That would 
mean a bit of extra maintenance efforts for us code keepers, but it would also 
mean cleaner and less complicated code and easier handling by end users.

But as said: Those are just some preliminary ideas and so far we're putting 
IPv6 a bit on the back burner.
