Thanks - I'm assuming this just a behaviour change between ES3 and ES4? I haven't seen this on my ES3 systems...

I'm not trying to access anything other than another system on the same

What I really want to know: why do I have an IPv6 address associated
with eth1 when I did not configure it?
  

It's configured by default.  If you want to turn ipv6 off completely just run this and reboot:

echo "alias net-pf-10 off" >> /etc/modprobe.conf
