You forget, I've had native IPv6 for _years_, so nothing needed to be done to
accommodate the IPv6 transport on my end.  It was the other end of the link
that upgraded their server, allowing me to switch to using IPv6 to carry the
tunnel.

Windows on...?  And I again don't understand the relevance here.  Again, you
need to state yur assumptions.

The infrastructure here runs Linux, though there are a number of Windows
machines running as desktops.  This one also doubles as a file server for
nodelist processing, allowing me to update the nodelist data for my othernets
locally, but using the Linux boxes to do the automated processing.

Yeah, it's been years.

Yes, I participate in a lot of IP networks. :D

Domains for what?  Web servers don't need IPs for extra domains.
