Yep, i fully understood you wanted IPv6.  i just thought you might want to verify what settings you have for Firefox -- making sure Firefox has turned on IPv6 dns.

Default was on.

Just curious, what is the motivation for the HIP api stuff, it is not there by default is it?

read the RFCs on HIP:  4423 and 5201-5206.

4423 provides the justification of HIP and its architecture.  I created HIP almost 10 years ago, shortly after (as IPsec co-chair) got the IPsec RFCs out.  HIP is much more than an alternative keying protocol for ESP (compared to IKE).  It directly addresses secure mobility.  HIP **IS** an important change to the TCP/IP architecture; this has been part of its slow advancement.  As such it has its own 'native' API:  http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-hip-native-api-05.txt.

I can go into more about HIP if you wish.
