[ubuntu-uk] IPv6

[Paul Tansom]

A couple of very quick questions on IPv6 that people may be able to cast light
on.

1. Does anyone know why IPv6 doesn't come up on boot with Ubuntu 10.04? I can
enable it once it is booted with a quick ifdown and ifup (although I have to
force the ifdown). For some reason it doesn't come up when the server is
rebooted. The same config in the interfaces file on my 12.04 box works fine.

2. With a Ubuntu 8.04 server (yes I know it is old!) with IPv6 enabled and
Apache apparently supporting IPv6 am I right in assuming that there is other
infrastructure that limits it working? I note that host, for example, does not
support IPv6. I could of course be missing something as it can be tricky
working out whether the issue is at client or server, especially when one test
I was using quoted IPv6 working fine and the other insisted it was IPv4 only!
In the end the postive test was simply telling me the client was working
because it was pulling the info from a different server - doh.

Of course both of these servers are penciled in for an upgrade to 12.04 ASAP,
but the AP bit is proving the limiting factor in terms of available time to
sort it out :(
