Well, mostly a matter of time till the tools have been updated with
proper support for IPv6. I personally use a little perl-script to make
the above easier (both for v4 and v6 addresses, like:
`ptrconf.pl 3ffe:2a00:100:3fff::1` gives me the nibble representation.
Rest is most of the time cut 'n paste right?
Feico.
