there's a patch for nagios around, adding address6 as host attribute. even if there are custom variables, it's more intentional for keeping the systems dualstacked in the future by adding that. > > In the end it would even be more natural to check_ping to check both address > families > if available and go to CRITICAL if one of them fails.
