Just don't load the IPv6 contracking module. Disabling IPv6 is really
no longer an option and we might as well get use to it. IPv4 address
space run-out is now within the foreseeable future (ICANN and the RIR's
have no settled on the allocation of the FINAL /8's and some locals will
be out within the next year or two). I've been operational on the
global IPv6 network for well over 7 years now and there's just no more
excuse for this "head in the sand" approach to IPv6.
