If so, what are these 5 sites that are on IPv6?
Sure doesn't look like it's configured, just enabled in your OS. In fact, it doesn't look like IPv4 is configured on that interface either, which is odd, are you sure that's the interface connected to your ISP? But, having the IPv6 unconfigured isn't too surprising, since very few ISPs seem to route it. If you send to a 6-4 gateway, it might work, though. If that works, you can see if http://ipv6.google.com/ works. The '5' sites was an exaggeration, but not by much: <http://www.ipv6.org/v6-www.html> has a list. <http://www.kame.net> will show a different page depending on whether you come in via IPv4 or 6.
