Comment:

 I converted preferv6 to a tri-state of ipversion = v4, ipversion =
 preferv4, and ipversion = preferv6.  In a 7 node network with two nodes
 only reachable via IPv6, the upload succeeds on a "preferv4" host and a
 "preferv6" host, but fails on the "v4" host.  So I know that v4 works as
 expected.  I'm happy with the way preferv6 and preferv4 work.  They
 advertise the right version first, but still work with either version.

 I need to get some real testing done with Windows before 7 or another
 operating system that has a separate ipv4 stack from an ipv6 stack.  If
 anybody is willing to try this, I would greatly appreciate it.
