Well, my reason for asking the question was that the log wasn't clear to
me. There is a difference between "optional as in won't bother people
without ipv6," and "optional as in, people without ipv6 need to go turn
something off." I'm glad to hear that it's the former (modulo the
moderate annoyance of error messages in the logs).
Thanks,
Doug
