Hi forrestv and all contributors of p2pool,

Many thanks to this fantastic mining pool. It's really fun to tuning p2pool to maximize miner's income for geeky users like me.

But I wonder if you have any plan to enable IPv6 support of p2pool?
Since official bitcoin client has IPv6 enabled by default, I think enabling IPv6 support will make p2pool network even more pervasive and well connected.
More importantly, IPv6 will help those users with both v4 & v6 network, but behind firewall or NAT in v4 network, just like me.
I do have a very good connectivity to v6 network and can accept income connections.
But v4 network is NATed with high latency, and I think that might be the source of my high orphan rate.

I have checked that twisted library used in p2pool support IPv6 network, at least partially.
I'm not familiar with python, so I don't know for sure.
I wonder if it is possible to enable IPv6 network in p2pool?

Thanks again to this great mining pool. :-)
