I added an issue about supporting IPv6 to the LDM development site on
GitHub a while ago. It is on my list of things to do in my copious spare
time. :-)
Almost anything is possible in software. It just takes time, money, and
some mechanism for prioritizing issues. Unfortunately, the first two are
uncertain in the current funding environment and I'm still looking for a
good way to implement the third (if you know of one, then please share).

Steve Emmerson
