[ubuntu-us-wi] Ubuntu-Wisconsin.org and IPv6

That's one short "sudo aptitude install miredo" away; however, for
dual-stack sites it will choose the native IPv4 over the tunneled
IPv6.  You can force IPv6 by using the raw IPv6 address in square
brackets, e.g.

   http:[2607:F298:0001:0104::0865:83D7]

Folks affiliated with the UW-Madison may or may not be on IPv6-enabled
subnets; the college of engineering and DoIT are, but not yet everyone
else.  However, if they make a Cisco anyconnect VPN connection to
wiscvpn.doit.wisc.edu and choose the "ipvt-test" profile, they will
get native TLS-tunneled IPv6, including using CAE's DNS servers, which
are white-listed for Google sites.  (Warning: best from 32-bit windows
7; you need a beta Cisco client for 64-bit windows, and I haven't
tried it from Linux.)

I tested ubuntu-wisconsin.org from the UW, and the v6 does seem to
work: DNS lookups find it, you can ping6 it, web browsers load it.
Congratulation on being ready for world IPv6 test day on June 7-8!
