Hi,

We are implementing a database for maintaining our IP addresses. Looking 
in the current documentation, it seems that INET/CIDR types only support 
IPv4 addresses until now, although 
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2001-09/msg00236.php
seems to suggest a patch for IPv6 has been ready for some time now.

What is the status of IPv6 types at this moment?

Some merging of code from the BIND code and our IPv4 changes need to be
made.  No one has done it yet.
