IPv6 support works great for me now that it is all setup. It was a real pain to figure out the need for -6 and ipf6.conf initially. It is not well documented nor are the error messages helpful when doing things wrong.

A combined system would be beneficial I feel.

I don't think a transition would be difficult, for me all that I think that would be required is to copy and paste the files together.

For those that use IPFilter with IPv6, does the current
configuration cause any problems for you?

Do you edit ipf.conf and forget to edit ipf6.conf or vice verssa?

Are there interaction issues or reporting problems needing to
remember -6?

If there was just a single configuration file, ipf.conf, that
contained all IP (IPv4/6) firewall rules, would this make like
easier or harder?

If you were forced to manually transition your current system
layout with both ipf.conf and ipf6.conf, would this be a serious
issue?

One other question, if NAT were to support IPv6 also, would you
expect a ipnat6.conf or for it to all fit in ipnat.conf?

Consider, with this, that with ippool, I've decided to use the same
pool to hold both IPv4/6 addresses.

Comments?
