Paul- AFAIK, IPv6 is in fact enabled/capable in BIND currently, but no 
one uses it- IPv6 will be a LONG time in coming to everyone, with the 
major challenge being a 'transition phase' where devices (routers for a 
prime example) are able to handle both ipv4 and ipv6...without that, 
ipv6 is useless outside of 'playing with it locally.'

This shouldn't have any effect on name registrations, they will just 
eventually map to both ipv4 AND ipv6 addresses..
