Hi Ulf! Thanks for your comments.
Fedora DS 1.0.2 should work fine for the basic cases. We need some
cleanup, though.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=206724
But even without the change, the server already handles the IPv6 request
correctly. On the other hand, new LDAP C SDK is MUST. We updated the
prldap_connection code to use the IPv6 friendly functions (e.g.,
PR_GetAddrInfoByName). If you are interested in, please take a look at
this bug. You're going to see my struggles... :)

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?
