20 Now that IPv6 is enabled by default on Linux, is one meant to duplicate all
21 the IPv4 iptable rules also for IPv6? I'm using arno ip tables and from what
22 I saw in the config file it is either 4 or 6 that one can activate. Perhaps
23 this has improved with later versions.

25 The OP would probably have more questions, but if you ever pull together a
26 pack of slides I would much appreciate a link to look at them.
