We have kernel support for IPv6 in Centos, but not stateful firewall support.
That requires at least the 2.6.20 kernel, which means Fedora Core 6 or some other Linux distro.
None of the various free Linux firewalls have IPv6 support. Supposedly FWBuilder can manage Netfilters for a Linux Kernel, but that seems to be
the
extent of it.
More sad facts as I uncover them.....
Just use openbsd. We cannot expect Linux to rule everything. Use what

fits the job.
Not sure about FC6, but in both CentOS 4 & 5 there is an ip6tables. I haven't used it, but I'm assuming that you can build rules just like you do with iptables.

My dd-wrt web page has a IPv6 checkbox, but don't know what it does. i am shunning IPv6 bc securing the private side of a NAT is hard enough. Securing IPv6 seems much much much tougher.
