Searched the archives and found a few IPv6 inquiries, but only that

suspect it would actually be fairly simple to implement (please
correct me if I'm wrong).
It's not entirely trivial, but it can be done (of course). The
actual changes needed to "talk" IPv6 in the network service tests
is probably not a whole lot; may real concern is going through all
of the places throughout Xymon where the code assumes that an IP-
address looks like "1.2.3.4".
This is starting to become a priority for me. I need to monitor my
ssh servers, but they all only respond now to ipv6, so I can't :-(.
It is moving up on my priority list as well - it seems that IPv6 is
(finally) seeing some real adoption. It won't be in the next version,
but probably the one after that.
Thanx, Henrik, as long as it's on the map, I'll wait.
