I added some more details to the ticket.  I'm also adding a Reply-To header on 
this mail for the pool-dev list.  :-)

Weird, maybe I need to upgrade my GeoIP tools then, because I have never had 
any luck looking up an IPv6 address:

$ geoiplookup6 2001:4860:4001:803::1013
$

etc.

Good point about the lookups mostly being on IPv4, so having the servers 
registered appropriately will help.


 - ask
