rhel5, which is what we're running in production, has a kernel old
enough that it doesn't have the iptables --clamp-mss-to-pmtu
capability for ipv6.

We've had over 5000 successful connections using ipv6 this week, and
about 5 _reported_ failures.  In the same time, we've had millions of
successful v4 connections.  I'm inclined to believe the failures,
while annoying, are still few and far between compared with the rest
of our traffic.  I'm not quite ready to turn off ipv6 again, or switch
to forcing "knowledgable" users to use www.ipv6.fp.o, as it would drop
our IPv6 userbase to effectively zero.
