Request: Please hook up IPv6 to cvsup mirrors

Howdy,

I'm a big proponent of using IPv6 to do as much as humanly possible
for a lot of reasons, which I don't think I need to list unless you
really want me to. :)  My understanding is that cVsup does not have
the ability to use IPv6 transport natively, however the csup binary in
the base does, and more and more users are migrating to it as time
goes on.

I've also noticed that the cvsup mirrors that I use most often all
have IPv6 addresses associated with them. I see this on startup:

Connecting to cvsup10.freebsd.org
Cannot connect to 2001:4f8:fff6::30: Connection refused
Connected to 69.147.83.48

Now here comes the request. My understanding is that there is a fairly
simple netcat trick to link the cvsup port on the IPv6 address to that
of the IPv4 address. If that actually is possible, I'd like to request
that y'all actually do that. :)

I will of course be glad to assist with this in any necessary manner.


Doug
