[Fedora-directory-devel] IPv6 testing: listenhost

[Ulf Weltman]

Hello Noriko.  This is great news about IPv6!
About the binding, it sounds correct but I imagine a sysadmin would find 
it inconvenient, wanting to be able to listen on a single physical 
interface in a multihomed system but have both IP and IPv6 available.  I 
guess they could bind LDAP to one and LDAPS to the other in a pinch. :)

To try IPv6, do we need a DS build from the tip or just a new SDK?
