Status of IPv6 support
Could anybody tell me the status of IPv6 support in ATS? I'm mainly
interested in terminating IPv6 on the ATS servers, and talk IPv4 towards
the backend servers
Is it fully functional for pure HTTP between client and ATS in reverse
proxy mode ?
Can we use ATS for terminating SSL on IPv6, or do we need to use
separate SSL terminator like Pound or similar?
What does it mean that "IPv6 support for clustering" (TS-990) isn't
fixed yet? Can't we use clustering and IPv6 together yet ?
Other issues blocking the usage of ATS for an IPv6 reverse proxy ?

I haven't tested it myself, but IPv6 "termination" (NAT) should work (it has
been in there for quite a while). That's in fact how Yahoo did IPv6 days
(they put their version of ATS in front of all their sites afaik).

That I can't comment on, but I'd venture a guess that it's not functioning.

Alan is referring to 3.1

Oh.. that sounded a bit worse than I expected. Are you here referring to v3.0
or v3.1, or both ?

It's in a bit of an indeterminate state right now, I've been distracted by another issue. It might work in your scenario but that has not been tested. I am not sure how functional it is for client / ATS connections.
The clustering issue means that cluster communications require IPv4. It is independent of using IPv6 for client / ATS / server connections.
The main issue blocking right now is me getting some other issues off my plate.
