Hi, thanks for adding your server to the pool. Its IPv6 connectivity
will be used at some point, but unfortunately not right now.
The pool website is indeed accessible via IPv6 (that's a good start). As
you've noticed, you can also add your IPv6 server to the pool. However,
pool.ntp.org nameservers will only give out IPv4 NTP servers for the
time being. IPv6 NTP servers are currently not monitored by the project.
Your server's score of -9.8 is nothing extraordinary for IPv6 servers,
my server's score is also -9.8
(http://www.pool.ntp.org/scores/2001:1bc8:100:18::1:100). I guess I can
claim that there are no IPv6 NTP servers in the pool whose listed score
would be more than 10, even though those IPv6 NTP servers are working
just fine.
There's an old message posted to the pool development list which
describes one plan for enabling IPv6 for the pool, see
http://lists.ntp.org/pipermail/pool-dev/2008-December/000146.html
Those subdomains (beta and ipv6) do not seem to exist yet, but I think
creating those would be a good idea to get things moving. It is also my
understanding that there's still a bit of programming left before the
entire pool system (website, monitoring, alerts, DNS, ...) is fully IPv6
enabled, although we're getting close.
