1st of all: None of the tracker servers used as of today has an AAAA record,
thus adding ipv6 support on the main trackers won't be added soon. (if you can
reach the tracker only using IPv4, there's not much point in having it deal 
IPv6)

> The Bittorrent Multitracker extensions,

A note on that one: The OOo tracker network doesn't only use multitracker
enabled torrents, but the trackers OOo uses are as well linked with each other. 

I.e. the tracker themselves exchange peer information, every tracker knows about
the whole swarm. It is not only "dumb" multitracker where the client picks
independent-of-each-other trackers where each tracker manages a completely
seperated swarm.

I'm not sure whether adding an additional, not tracker-link aware tracker would
be a good idea, as it would fragment the swarm. (i.e. I would perfer the ipv6
users take part in the ipv4 swarm instead) (swarm is relatively small 

But please bring this to the [email protected] mailing list for
more input. Adding another tracker would just be a change in the php script on
http://borft.student.utwente.nl/~adrian/bt.php - and the OOo torrents are
available via rsync, so you could keep your tracker up-to-date with that.
But since neither of the main server is IPv6-capable, you would have to run the
corresponding seed as well.

Sum up: technically adding another tracker is not much of a deal, the question
is whether it is a good thing to do or not.
