Thanks for the feedback. Further research has convinced me that the NIO library implementation in the JRockit VM suffers the same problem,. I didn't find anything explicitly referring to the IBM VM implementation in regards to this issue, but I have very little hope in that direction now either.
Hence I think the only solution to ipv6 support is to recommend deployment on Unix, until a) jdk 1.7 is patched and b) there is a server variant of Windows that has the IPV6 stack support released in Vista.
