No.  Most services except http://toolserver.org are IPv6-enabled, but 
it was only deployed a few days ago and I want to monitor it for a bit 
before enabling it on the main site.  Once this is done (probably a few 
days) we will enable IPv6 permanently.

In any case the internal communications will remain IPv4, because /tiles 
is proxied via ZWS, which does not support IPv6.

Actually, I suppose there's no point sending /tiles via ZWS now -- it 
makes more sense to do that at the front-end proxy instead of ZWS.  I'll 
have a look at changing that tomorrow.

This won't work, for the same reason (all requests appear to come from 
only two IPs).
